H.R. 2428 · 118th Congress
Minorities in Aviation Education Act of 2023
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Minorities in Aviation Education Act of 2023
This bill establishes grants for increasing the exposure and access of students to the aviation industry, with a particular focus on women and minorities.
Specifically, the Department of Transportation (DOT) must establish the Bessie Coleman Aviation Education Program to award the grants to state and local governments or educational agencies for activities that increase exposure and access to aviation-related education and jobs, such as programs to increase the recruitment and retention of underrepresented minorities in aviation degree programs. DOT must prioritize grant applicants that propose to use the funds to encourage the participation of women, minorities, and individuals in rural and urban areas in the aviation industry.
