"I am proud the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed my bipartisan legislation to strengthen American leadership in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)," said Congressman Nehls . "For far too long, outdated regulations and burdensome certification processes have held back American AAM innovation while allowing foreign adversaries like China to gain ground. This legislation cuts through unnecessary red tape while maintaining the highest safety standards and will ensure the United States is the global leader in AAM and aviation."

Nehls said his bipartisan AAM legislation would cut unnecessary regulatory red tape, maintain safety standards, and ensure U.S. leadership in AAM and aviation.

The judged commitment is the action claim to advance legislation on FAA type certification for Advanced Air Mobility while maintaining safety standards, not the broader aspirational outcome that the U.S. become the global leader. Verified evidence shows H.R. 7553 concerned updates to the FAA type certification process for new technologies, and House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee records show the ANS and legislation were agreed to by voice vote. The original verified commitment identifies it as Nehls's legislation, supporting material attribution.
