Look Ahead to the Week of April 29: Negotiators Reach Compromise on FAA Reauthorization
Both the House and Senate are in session this week.
Early Monday morning, congressional negotiators announced they reached a bipartisan, bicameral agreement extending the authorization of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) through fiscal year 2028. Lawmakers now have until May 10 to act on the measure to avoid a lapse in FAA authorities. The Senate will begin procedural work this week to begin moving forward with the FAA reauthorization measure.
On the House side, many will be watching Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to see if she moves forward with her threat of a motion to vacate in an attempt to remove Mike Johnson (R-LA) from his position as speaker. Two other GOP members have signaled support for the effort, and Democrats have so far declined to say whether they would support Speaker Johnson if a vote occurred.
Additionally, the House will focus this week on a collection of GOP-led energy and environment bills, including efforts to expand domestic fossil fuel production, before departing on Wednesday so members can attend the funeral of Rep. Donald Payne Jr. (D-NJ), who passed away unexpectedly last week.
House Side
On Monday, the House will meet to consider multiple bills under suspension.
Senate Side
On Tuesday, the Senate will resume consideration on the nomination of Georgia Alexakis to be a district judge for the Northern District of Illinois.
