FARE Act

This bill would bar the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) from reducing or temporarily stopping regularly scheduled passenger airline flights during a federal government shutdown unless it has first banned all private jet flights in the same area for the same period. Private jet flights used for public safety, government business, military or diplomatic purposes, medical reasons, agriculture, weather or science, humanitarian or disaster relief, or carrying cargo would be exempt from this rule. The FAA could enforce the law through civil penalties or by asking a federal district court to stop an air carrier from violating it.
