Aviation Supply Chain Safety and Security Digitization Act of 2025
# Aviation Supply Chain Safety and Security Digitization Act of 2025 (HR 6267) **What the Bill Would Do** This bill aims to improve safety and security in the aviation industry's supply chain through digital modernization. While specific provisions aren't detailed in the available summary, the title indicates the bill would likely require or encourage the use of digital systems and tracking to monitor parts, materials, and components as they move through the aviation supply chain. This could help prevent counterfeit parts from entering aircraft, improve traceability of components, and enhance oversight of suppliers. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily impact aircraft manufacturers, parts suppliers, maintenance providers, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Airlines and ultimately air travelers could benefit from improved safety oversight. The digitization requirements would likely affect various companies in the aerospace and aviation sectors. **Current Status** As of now, HR 6267 is in committee and has not advanced to a full House vote. The bill was introduced by Representative Brad Knott (R-NC) in the 119th Congress. It remains in the early legislative stage, and its specific provisions and estimated costs are not yet publicly detailed.
