This bill establishes a mechanism to ensure the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) can continue its operations without interruption during a government shutdown. It authorizes the use of funds from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund to cover all FAA activities if a regular appropriation measure or continuing resolution is not enacted. This includes critical accounts such as Operations, Facilities and Equipment, Research, Engineering, and Development, and Grants-in-Aid for Airports. The funding provided under this act would be available from the first day of an appropriations lapse until a new appropriation bill or continuing resolution becomes law. The rate of operations for these programs, projects, and activities would not exceed the level provided in the preceding fiscal year's appropriation. This ensures stability and continuity for essential aviation services, preventing potential safety and operational disruptions. The bill also amends the Internal Revenue Code to explicitly allow expenditures from the Trust Fund for this purpose.
