tl;dr
The House passed the ALERT Act (396-10) to mandate collision-avoidance technology following a fatal 2025 midair collision. Although bipartisan, the bill faces criticism from victims' families and Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell for being weaker than a Senate version previously blocked by the Pentagon.
