Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill defines and regulates vertiports, which the bill defines as “infrastructure or a system with supporting services and equipment intended for landing, ground-handling, and takeoff of crewed or uncrewed vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.” Under the bill, no person may operate a vertiport that is available for public use by an advanced air mobility operator to engage in service in interstate commerce unless the vertiport layout is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration, and the vertiport is operated in accordance with FAA rules or guidance pertaining to vertiport design and performance.
Under the bill, counties, cities, villages, and towns must use zoning and land use authority to promote reasonable access to advanced air mobility operators at public vertiports and may not grant or permit an exclusive right of operation to one or more vertiport owners or operators.
