This amendment passed in the House version of H.R. 3935, the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act, which reauthorizes the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).\n\n\u201cProtecting airports from criminals, rogue states and terrorists is vital to ensure that Americans can travel with peace of mind,\u201d said Rep. Seth Magaziner. \u201cAs the Ranking Member on the Subcommittee for Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence, I\u2019m focused on keeping Americans safe. My provision, passed by the House, will help airports meet 21st century cybersecurity standards and recommendations \u2013 helping to prevent cyber attacks like ransomware and sabotage while protecting American travelers.\u201d\n\nRep. Magaziner\u2019s legislation addresses vulnerabilities that were revealed after cyber attacks on some of our nation\u2019s largest airports last year. Over a dozen airport websites were targeted in a series of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks by a pro-Russian group.\n\nThe amendment will ensure cyber infrastructure upgrades at airports are eligible for $4 billion of funding for the FAA\u2019s Airport Improvement Program. This will particularly help airports like Rhode Island\u2019s T. F. Green International Airport, along with other small airports, that face funding challenges.\n\nThis is the fourth piece of legislation Magaziner has passed through the House of Representatives, as last week the House approved three of his amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:18:03Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://magaziner.house.gov/media/press-releases/passed-rep-magaziners-amendment-strengthen-airport-cybersecurity-standards"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8030477911233902, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
