Airport Regulatory Relief Act of 2025

This bill makes it easier for states to use their own road-building standards instead of federal standards when fixing pavement at smaller airports that handle between 2,500 and 10,000 passengers per year. Right now, states have to prove that using their standards won't hurt safety *and* won't shorten the pavement's lifespan, but this bill removes that second requirement. The bill also requires the FAA to decide whether a state's standards are safe within six months, though the FAA can take longer if it explains why in writing.
