WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-AL) announced that the Committee will hold a full committee markup on Thursday, March 26, 2026, to consider the Airspace Location and Enhanced Risk Transparency (ALERT) Act.
The ALERT Act was developed in response to the fatal 2025 midair collision near Reagan National Airport involving a civilian aircraft and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter. The comprehensive legislation addresses recommendations issued by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in the wake of the crash.
"It's critical that we take action to improve air safety and prevent future tragedies and further loss of life," Chairman Rogers said. "The only way to do that effectively is to take a comprehensive approach, which is why the ALERT Act implements the NTSB's safety recommendations and addresses vital national security concerns, making our skies safer for everyone who flies."
