by Commerce and Tourism Committee; Transportation Committee; and Senator Wright
This summary is provided for information only and does not represent the opinion of any Senator, Senate Officer, or Senate Office.
Prepared by: Transportation Committee (TR)
The bill prohibits an airport from using information derived from automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast systems emitted from certain aircraft as a means of calculating, generating, and collecting fees from aircraft owners or operators if:
- The operation for which a fee would be assessed is a departure or a landing, including, but not limited to, touch-and-go landings.
- The fee would be assessed based on an aircraft entering into the airspace of the airport where the fee is assessed.
These prohibitions are limited to aircraft with a gross weight of 12,499 pounds or less operating under the Federal Aviation Administration’s general operating and flight rules.
If approved by the Governor, or allowed to become law without the Governor's signature, these provisions take effect on July 1, 2026.
Vote: Senate 36-2; House 108-2
