Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill SB 1406 include the addition of an appropriation clause, which allocates $3 million from the state General Fund to the State Aviation Fund starting in fiscal year 2022. The bill still repeals the requirement to register aircraft and the associated fees, but now it provides state funding to support aviation initiatives. This modification is important because it ensures that while the registration fees are removed, there will still be financial resources available for the aviation sector in Arizona.
