aviation surveillance technology; fees; prohibition
HB 2210 prohibits Arizona state agencies, local governments, and private entities from using Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data to charge fees to aircraft owners or operators within Arizona's airspace. The bill specifically bans the use of surveillance technology that tracks aircraft positions via satellite, avionics, and ground infrastructure to calculate, generate, or collect fees. It does not restrict ADS-B use for safety or air traffic management but prevents its monetization for fee collection. The law defines ADS-B as aviation surveillance technology that creates a real-time aircraft tracking interface between aircraft and air traffic control.
