What changed in the latest version
77 added · 48 removedPlain-language change summary
The changes to HB 87 clarify that airport authorities in Alabama can engage in various types of business entities and activities associated with airport operations and land acquisition. The updated bill also specifies that some of these entities will not have the power of eminent domain, which means they cannot force property owners to sell their land. This distinction is important because it helps protect property rights while allowing airport authorities to more effectively manage and support their operations.
