Here's the text of the Bill:  https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/hr3708/text

 

The website only shows a 4% chance of it ever enacted... Little depressing.

If I remember correctly the bill sponsors were on the committee.  There were also both dem and rep sponsors.  Hopefully its not a controversial issue.

If I'm not mistaken, the expansion to 6 seats is further than the proposal before the FAA.  It may have been little more than a political move to get the FAA moving on the 4-seat proposal. Like when I grew a beard and mustache in college so my mom would be happy when I shaved the beard part off.
