During a government shutdown, the FAA could not cut regular passenger flights in an area while private jets keep flying there. Private jets would have to be stopped first, unless they fit listed exceptions like medical, military, relief, or cargo flights.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
FARE Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Subcommittee on Aviation.
Latest action on H.R. 6012: Referred to the Subcommittee on Aviation.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects airline passengers, private jet users, airlines, private jet operators, and the FAA during a federal government shutdown. Airline passengers may face fewer shutdown-related cuts while private jets are still flying nearby. Private jet users may face earlier limits unless their flight fits one of the bill's exceptions. The FAA would have to apply this order of restrictions and enforce it if air carriers violate the rule.
Why this matters: During a shutdown, flight cuts can affect who gets delayed, canceled, or allowed to fly. This bill would push the FAA to protect regular passenger service before private jet travel in the same area. That could help many airline passengers. It could also reduce the FAA's room to make case-by-case decisions during a stressful operating period.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
