American Confidence in Elections: District of Columbia Voter Identification Act

This bill establishes citizenship and identification requirements to vote in the District of Columbia (DC).

The bill requires an individual to provide documentary proof that they are a U.S. citizen to register to vote in DC.

Additionally, the bill requires an individual to present current and valid identification to vote or to receive a ballot (i.e., when not voting in person). Acceptable identification includes a DC driver's license, U.S. passport, military identification, or student identification. The bill also requires an election official to obtain proof of residency for any voter whose identification does not include the voter's current address.

Further, DC must provide certain identification (e.g., a driver's license) at no cost to an individual who is unable to afford the fee. 

Finally, the bill requires election officials to compile photographs of all eligible DC voters in the poll book used to administer elections. The bill authorizes and directs the DC government to obtain such photo records from DC government records, by photographing voters, or by making a copy of a voter's photo identification. The bill prohibits the photo records included in the poll book from being used for purposes other than for the administration of DC elections.

Aircraft Noise Reduction Act

This bill allows a general aviation airport to make reasonable adjustments to air traffic and training patterns of noncommercial charter flights for the purposes of implementing aircraft noise limitations. A 
general aviation airport 
is a public-use airport that does not have scheduled service or that has scheduled service with less than 2,500 passenger boardings per year. 

Specifically, upon the request of a general aviation airport, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must consult with the airport and provide for reasonable adjustments to air traffic and training patterns that do not otherwise violate law.

No federal funds may be withheld from, withdrawn from, or denied to a general aviation airport based solely on an activity carried out under this bill. 

In the case of an emergency, the FAA may reject or temporarily restrict an accommodation to a general aviation airport to implement aircraft noise limitations.

Further, the Department of Transportation must update current regulations, as necessary, to allow general aviation airports to implement effective noise abatement measures, as determined appropriate by general aviation airport owners and operators.
