Just read through all the amendments on the Senate Committee page. Both the 400 foot limit and the knowledge test are still in the bill. Only amendment I read that even touched on our issues was one that allows faculty, staff, and students at institutions of higher education (as defined by a section of federal law) to fly at AMA fields for educational or research purposes w/o FAA approval. Requires AMA and local club approval.
