Aviation, requires Transportation dept. to take certain actions related to advanced air mobility

This bill directs the state Transportation Department to create a statewide plan for advanced aviation technologies like powered-lift aircraft and electric aviation. The department must appoint a liaison to manage this effort and work with public and private experts to help local governments develop consistent zoning rules for these new technologies. The legislation explicitly prohibits using existing state funds, such as those from the Public Road and Bridge Fund, to pay for the development or updating of this plan. Additionally, the bill requires the department to provide educational and technical resources to support uniform planning across the state.
