Legislative Update on HB24-1235

from the Colorado Pilot's Association President

A big thank you to our members that testified at a very long hearing, you really came through.  This bill was amended in Committee to be acceptable to the aviation community. It was changed significantly from the original draft. 


Highlights:

*Reduced in length from 24 pages to 8.

*Retained the positive incentives for authorizations of aircraft engines to use unleaded avgas, including STCs.

*Retained the positive incentives for airports to provide unleaded avgas.

*Deleted Section 9 with its enterprise fund.

*Deleted all portions that are preempted by federal law and FAA regulations.

*Deleted the tax on 100LL.

*Deleted the requirement that the Division install noise monitoring systems.  But expanded “aviation purposes” for the Colorado Aeronautical Board (CAB) and the Aeronautics Division of CDOT (Division) to fund noise monitoring devices and education to reduce adverse impacts. The Division can handle this.

In the added two voting members of CAB, they are to be “familiar with airport infrastructure, aviation, and the mission of the Board.”

All the tasks of CAB and the Division about educating and assisting airports are already within their purview.

*Compliance with noise abatement plans and various elements such as flight patterns are “voluntary.”

 

This amendment is a result of the amazing work of Kelly Sloan, lobbyist for the Colorado Aviation Business Association and others, the good cooperation by prime sponsor Representative Kyle Brown, and the collaboration of CABA with Colorado Pilots Association, Dave Ulane of the Division and many aviation organizations and individuals, including testimony at the long hearing by the House Transportation, Housing & Local Government Committee on March 6, 2024.

Minor amendments are likely as this bill goes through the process. We’ll keep you informed.
