Bill > SB76

This bill aims to broaden the eligibility for rural air service enhancement grants in the state of New Mexico. It expands the definition of "air route" to include both scheduled operations and public charters, and introduces new terms like "new air route" and "expanded air route" to differentiate between different types of air services. The bill also temporarily reserves a portion of the rural air service enhancement fund for eligible applicants with new or expanded air routes to be used by aircraft with a capacity of not more than nine persons. Additionally, the bill makes an appropriation of $15 million from the general fund to the rural air service enhancement fund for fiscal year 2023 and subsequent years to carry out the purpose of the grant program and related infrastructure improvements.
