Runway Integrity and Military Readiness Act of 2024
HR 8272, the Runway Integrity and Military Readiness Act of 2024, prevents the Secretary of Transportation from requiring certain airports to shorten runways, aprons, or taxiways as a condition for federal funding. It directly affects airports that directly support a U.S. Air Force or Air National Guard base, regardless of whether military aircraft are currently stationed there. The bill prohibits the Transportation Secretary from imposing such length or width requirements on these specific airports. This policy change ensures military readiness at these bases by protecting existing runway infrastructure from federal funding conditions related to size.
