Senator Moran’s Runway SAFE-T Act, cosponsored by Senators Hickenlooper, Klobuchar, Wicker, Blunt Rochester, Fischer, and Sheehy, would have the FAA convene an airport driver training task force.
Assessments
The verified commitment is to support legislation that would direct the FAA to convene an airport driver training task force. Verified bill text names Mr. Sheehy among the senators for whom S. 5224 was introduced, and verified text shows the bill would require the FAA Administrator to convene that task force after enactment. Because this is judged as a support-legislation action rather than a promise that the FAA task force itself has already been convened, Sheehy's cosponsorship/introduction support is sufficient for delivery in the same Senate term.
