Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill clarifies the legal standing of a joint board created by two cities and two counties to operate an airport through an interlocal agreement, which is a formal contract between governmental entities. Specifically, it grants this joint board all the powers and responsibilities of a regional airport authority, meaning it can function similarly to a dedicated entity for airport management. The bill also states that this board will be considered a public instrumentality and a public body corporate and politic, allowing it to officially register as a corporate entity with the Secretary of State. Importantly, the specific details of how the board is governed, including member terms and composition, will be determined by the interlocal agreement itself, rather than other state laws concerning airport authorities.
