We have received text from H.R. 9707: General Aviation Protection Act. This bill was received on 2026-07-15, and currently has 1 cosponsor.
Here is a short summary of the bill:
This bill would increase federal scrutiny of foreign involvement in the U.S. general aviation industry, especially where national security concerns may be involved. It would strengthen the role of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and export control rules so the government can more closely review, and in some cases block, investments or transactions involving foreign adversaries and sensitive aviation assets.
What the bill would do
-
Expand review of foreign investments and deals: The bill would require closer examination of investments, purchases, mergers, or other transactions involving U.S. general aviation companies when foreign adversary entities are involved.
-
Look back at past transactions: It would direct the government to review certain completed deals to identify whether earlier investments or acquisitions created national security risks.
-
Audit supply chains: The bill would require checks of supply chains tied to sensitive aviation companies and technologies to determine whether key parts, materials, software, or services come from risky foreign sources.
-
Require disclosure: Companies involved in this sector may have to provide more information about ownership, investors, suppliers, and other relationships that could affect security reviews.
-
Restrict federal support: The bill would limit certain federal funding, assistance, or support for companies or activities connected to sensitive aviation technology or foreign adversary-linked investment.
-
Limit outbound investment: It would place restrictions on U.S. investment going to certain foreign entities or industries when that investment could support sensitive aviation-related capabilities.
Who would be affected
The bill would mainly affect companies involved in general aviation, aviation technology, aircraft components, and related supply chains. It could also affect investors, lenders, suppliers, and firms with foreign ownership or foreign business ties, especially where the foreign party is considered a national security concern.
