Yesterday, with the House and Senate preparing to go home for the weekend, there were 102 bills introduced. Two of those bills may receive additional coverage in this blog:

There are two bills that I will be watching under my ‘Space Geek’ interests, but will probably not be covering in any detail in this blog:

HR 3142 To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to treat spaceports like airports for purposes of exempt facility bond rules. Dunn, Neal P. [Rep.-R-FL-2]

H Res 370 Supporting May 2 as "National Space Day" in recognition of the significant positive impact the aerospace community has and will continue to have on the United States of America.
