Aviation Supply Chain Safety and Security Digitization Act of 2025

This bill mandates the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a comprehensive study on the impediments to the use of digital documentation and verification in the aviation supply chain. The primary goal is to aid in identifying falsified documentation and counterfeit parts, thereby enhancing safety and security. The study will evaluate challenges faced by various aviation participants, such as manufacturers and air carriers, in adopting digital authorized release certificates and utilizing digital verification tools. It will also examine difficulties in establishing standardized documentation and the Federal Aviation Administration's transition from paper-based records and physical signatures to digital formats. Within one year, the Comptroller General must submit a report to Congress, including recommendations on how to encourage all aviation organizations to adopt digital forms and authentication tools, and how to accelerate the FAA's own digital documentation adoption. The Secretary of Transportation is then required to respond to any recommendations directed to the Department of Transportation within 120 days of the report's submission.
