Hudson Bill to Cut Taxes on Air Travelers Unanimously Passes House of Representatives
 
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Reps. Richard Hudson (R-NC), Chairman of the Transportation Security Subcommittee, and Michael McCaul (R-TX), Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed H.R. 5462, bipartisan legislation to limit the fees charged to passengers of air carriers and clarify Congressional intent.
 
“While so many Americans today are still struggling to find work and make ends meet, Washington seems intent on making things harder for them instead of easier,” said Hudson. “In times like this, we need solutions that reduce taxes and make air travel more accessible, leading to more frequent trips, increased tourism and more dollars invested in our local economies. I am very proud that this commonsense legislation to do just that has passed the House with such widespread bipartisan support.”
 
“TSA should not collect additional passenger security fees beyond what Congress has authorized,” said McCaul.” H.R. 5462 is common-sense, bipartisan legislation to clarify the fee structure that Congress intended and protect the traveling public from excess charges on their flights. I applaud Subcommittee Chairman Hudson for his leadership on this issue.”
