Bill Summary

AN ACT to establish the general aviation task force to study measures that may be implemented to improve general aviation operations in the state of New York

AI Summary

This bill establishes a General Aviation Task Force in New York State to comprehensively study and analyze factors affecting general aviation (which means all civil aviation operations except scheduled passenger airline flights). The task force will consist of eleven members appointed by various state leaders, including the governor, senate president, assembly speaker, transportation commissioner, and minority leaders, with members having backgrounds in areas like air transportation, business management, engineering, and urban planning. The task force's study will examine how state and federal laws, regulations, airport improvement projects, and tax policies impact investment in general aviation services, as well as explore strategies used by other states and countries to incentivize such investments. Task force members will not receive compensation but will be reimbursed for expenses, and they are authorized to hold public hearings and request assistance from state agencies. Within 180 days of the act's effective date, the task force must submit a comprehensive report with findings and recommendations to the governor, senate president, and assembly speaker, which will be posted on the Department of Transportation's website. The bill is designed to provide insights that could potentially improve general aviation operations and investment in New York State.
