What it does
This bill changes how the federal government pays for airport projects in U.S. territories. It lets airports in territories that qualified for federal air-service money in 1978 get more federal funding. Territories will pay less money for airport work.
Who it affects
Airports in U.S. territories that met a 1978 eligibility test will get more federal money. Local and territorial governments will pay less for airport improvements.
One thing to notice
The bill does not say if the extra federal money is new or taken from other airports. The bill does not list which specific territories or airports qualify.
