S. 1163 · 118th Congress
Aviation Minority Workforce Development 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.

Aviation Minority Workforce Development Act of 2023
This bill requires the Department of Transportation to establish a grant program to increase racial and gender minority access and representation in the aviation workforce. Grants may be provided to minority-serving institutions (e.g., historically Black colleges and universities) and a consortium of one or more institutions of higher education that has a partnership with an aviation company or industry association, a labor-management organization, or other specified entity.
The grants must be used to
- facilitate the creation of programs that educate and train students;
- increase access to, and the availability of, resources at existing aviation workforce programs;
- assist students with education, apprenticeship, internship, transportation, and certification costs; and
- increase student outreach and recruitment.
