HR 2247: Airmen Certificate Accessibility Act

Pilot Certificate Accessibility Act This bill allows a pilot to present a digital copy of certain certificates (e.g., an airman certificate or a medical certificate) when required to present such documentation by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector. Under current FAA regulations, a pilot must present for inspection a physical copy of an airman certificate and other paperwork upon a request from the FAA; a federal, state, or local law enforcement officer; or an authorized representative of the Transportation Security Administration or the National Transportation Safety Board. This bill allows a pilot to present a certificate such as an airman certificate or a medical certificate to an FAA inspector as (1) a physical, original copy; or (2) a digital copy stored on an electronic device or cloud storage platform. The FAA must update current regulations to implement this change.

HR 8034: Protecting America’s Small Oil and Gas Producers and Rural Jobs Act

This bill modifies tax rules to provide financial incentives for small oil and gas producers operating in marginal or low-production areas. It changes how the percentage depletion tax deduction is calculated, allowing a higher deduction rate based on oil prices and adjusting that rate annually using an inflation measure called the Producer Price Index. The legislation also removes certain income limits that restrict how much of this tax benefit producers can claim and doubles the minimum oil production threshold from 1,000 to 2,000 barrels to qualify for the deduction. These tax changes would take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026, primarily affecting independent oil and gas companies and rural communities dependent on these industries.
