AIR Security Act

This bill blocks federal airport improvement grant funds from being used for passenger boarding bridge contracts with companies linked to China or found guilty of stealing U.S. intellectual property. It requires a publicly updated list of prohibited entities - those owned by China, convicted of IP theft, or connected to such entities - updated quarterly for six months then annually. The restriction applies specifically to contracts for airport infrastructure or equipment under existing federal grant programs. This policy directly affects airports seeking funding and manufacturers of boarding bridge equipment.
