ROTOR Act

This bill sets new rules to make aircraft safer by requiring planes and helicopters to carry technology called ADS-B In, which lets pilots see the location of other aircraft nearby and receive traffic warnings. It also tightens the rules around when government flights can skip using related tracking technology, limiting which missions count as "sensitive" enough to qualify for an exception, and requiring more reporting and audits of those exceptions. The bill removes a 2025 law that let certain military helicopters skip tracking requirements in the Washington, DC area. It also requires the Army to be audited on how it works with the Federal Aviation Administration, and it directs the FAA to set up a new office to coordinate military aircraft use of airspace and share safety information with military agencies.
