Federal Aviation Administration Veterans' Preference Protection Act

Sponsored by Julia BrownleyRep. Julia Brownley (D-CA)
Introduced June 22, 2017

AI-Generated Summary

Updated April 15, 2026 at 4:30 PM UTC

The Federal Aviation Administration Veterans' Preference Protection Act would extend the federal veterans' preference rules—found in Title 5 of the U.S. Code—to the FAA’s personnel system. By doing so, it ensures that eligible veterans receive the same hiring, promotion, and other employment advantages that other federal agencies provide. The change mainly affects FAA hiring and human‑resources practices and the veterans who apply for FAA jobs.

Key Provisions

  • Amends 49 U.S.C. § 40122(g)(2)(B) to insert references to sections 3304(f) and 3308‑3320, and adds sections 3330a‑3330d, thereby linking the FAA personnel rules to the veterans' preference statutes in Title 5.
