The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, led by Chairman Sam Graves (R-MO), will hold a markup session on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET in the Rayburn House Office Building. The committee plans to review several legislative proposals during this meeting.
Among the measures to be considered is legislation that would permit pilots to use digital versions of certain certificates. The committee will also discuss a bill aimed at improving broadband access through projects managed by the Appalachian Regional Commission. Another proposal seeks to restrict U.S. port access for vessels that have previously visited foreign ports or properties formerly owned by American entities but later nationalized by other governments.
The scheduled bills include the Defending American Property Abroad Act of 2026, Military Air Traffic Control Transition Act, Wildfire Aerial Response Safety Act, Pilot Certificate Accessibility Act, and Expanding Appalachia’s Broadband Access Act.
Chairman Graves stated that more information about the markup session, including legislative text and a webcast link, will be made available on the committee's website as it becomes accessible.
