Bill Summary
AN ACT Amending SECTION 28-8602, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to vertiports.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Arizona law regarding vertiports, which are facilities for electric-powered vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, often referred to as "advanced air mobility." The changes require that before a political subdivision, such as a city or county, can determine the location of public and private vertiports, electric aircraft charging stations, and related infrastructure, the layout plan for the vertiport must be approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a U.S. government agency that regulates aviation. Additionally, the bill mandates that any new public vertiport, public electric aircraft charging station, or infrastructure project for advanced air mobility must be put out for public bid, meaning companies can compete for the contract, without giving any advantage to current owners or operators of public vertiports.
