Evidence

GovInfo identifies the measure as the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, Public Law 118-63, with short title including the National Transportation Safety Board Amendments Act of 2024.

The transparency provisions were enacted as part of Public Law 118-63, not merely proposed legislation.

Section 1209 requires an annual list of each NTSB recommendation to the Secretary of Transportation or Coast Guard Commandant that was closed in an unacceptable status, including explanations received and the Board's explanation why alternate means were inadequate.

This directly increases transparency when NTSB safety recommendations are not adopted or are closed as unacceptable, including for aviation-related recommendations to DOT/FAA leadership.

Section 1214 amends 49 U.S.C. 1135(c) to require NTSB safety recommendations to be public in electronic form at no cost in a publicly accessible database on a Board website.

The enacted law further expands public access to safety recommendations, reinforcing the transparency promise.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promised transparency increase was enacted in the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 during Davids' current federal House tenure. Sections 1209 and 1214 require public reporting/database access for NTSB safety recommendations, including recommendations closed as unacceptable or not adopted, which directly matches the claim. Davids voted for the bill that became law, providing candidate credit for materially advancing the enacted outcome in office.
