Four U.S. lawmakers, Senator Nancy Kassebaum (R-KS), Representative Dan Glickman (D- KS), Representative James V. Hansen (R-VT) and Representative James Inhofe (R-OK), were key to the successful conclusion of the ten year battle for aviation product liability reform. These legislators were honored with AOPA’s top award for public service at AOPA EXPO ’94.
Product liability reform was sponsored in the U.S. Senate by Senator Kassebaum and Congressman Dan Glickman of Kansas in the House of Representatives. Both sponsored the original liability reform legislation of the 1980s and the more recent “statute of repose” bill which succeeded.
