Senate approves aviation-code updates on airports and abandoned aircraft
Summary
First substitute Senate Bill 49, which updates state code on aircraft hangars, designates aerial corridors as part of the state transportation system, and establishes disposal procedures for abandoned airplanes, passed the Senate 27–0 (2 absent).
Senator Harper presented first substitute Senate Bill 49, saying the measure "cleans up three areas in the code dealing with airports." On the floor Harper said the bill updates statutes related to aircraft hangars, designates aerial corridors as part of the state transportation system, and establishes procedures for disposal of abandoned airplanes.
There was no floor discussion recorded beyond the sponsor's explanation; Harper moved the bill and the Senate approved the first substitute by roll call. President Adams announced the result as 27 yea, 0 nay, with two senators absent. The bill will be transmitted to the House for their consideration.
Supporters described SB 49 as technical and focused on statutory housekeeping for airport operations and related transportation planning rather than as a substantive policy overhaul.
