Safeguarding Americans From Extremist Risk (SAFER) at the Border Act

United Spinal supports legislation that Rep. Dina Titus and Senator Tammy Baldwin introduced, H.R. 9373/S. 4829, the Air Carrier Access Amendment Act (ACAAA) of 2026. As a member of the ACAA Working Group, United Spinal signed onto a letter to the Department of Transportations Secretary, Sean Duffy, requesting updates on the status of DOTs implementation of the disability-related provisions of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 (P.L. 118-63) and urging DOT to meet the requirements specified by Congress. The letter emphasizes the importance of the disability-related provisions. This includes the reauthorization of the Air Carrier Access Act Advisory Committee; data on mishandled wheelchairs; public reports; rulemaking on seating accommodations; the service animal travel pilot program; minimum technology accessibility standards; aisle chair standards; and rulemaking on in-flight entertainment. The letter also urges DOT to uphold the Wheelchair User Rule's improved training requirements effective June 17, 2026. United Spinal met with members of Congress to discuss the implementation of accessibility provisions in the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024.
