Airport Infrastructure Vehicle Security Act

HR 2912, the Airport Infrastructure Vehicle Security Act, restricts the use of federal funds for purchasing rolling stock (like baggage carts or shuttles) at airports if the manufacturer is tied to certain countries identified for trade concerns. It prohibits federal funding for contracts awarded after the bill's enactment if the manufacturer is owned by, related to, or a subsidiary of a corporation based in a country designated as a nonmarket economy, on a U.S. trade priority watch list, or under trade monitoring. The law specifically excludes minority investments as "related" but includes any ties involving Chinese-based corporations. This directly affects airport projects receiving federal infrastructure funding that would otherwise use such vehicles.
