Air Security Act of 2023

The Air Security Act of 2023 (S 3473) extends an existing prohibition on providing airport improvement grant funds to entities that have violated U.S. intellectual property rights. It amends two sections of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act to change the expiration date of this prohibition from 2023 to 2024. This adjustment ensures the restriction remains in effect for an additional year, directly affecting entities seeking these federal grants who have been found to infringe on U.S. intellectual property. The bill makes no new policy changes but extends a technical provision without altering eligibility criteria or funding amounts.
