Fiscal Detail and Notes
This legislation facilitates the creation of airport authorities to operate airports and provide air transportation services.  It defines an airport authority as a quasi-municipal entity, but does not require an airport to be created, operated or managed by an airport authority.  Additional costs to the Department of Transportation associated with any potential participation in, or support of, the creation of an airport authority would be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
