Modifies the Aeronautics Law
HB 477 updates Ohio's Aeronautics Law to officially include seaplane bases, heliports, vertiports, and spaceports alongside traditional airports. The bill expands legal definitions to cover these newer facilities and requires the Department of Transportation to approve their use for commercial purposes before they operate. It also mandates that pilots operating aircraft in the state must hold a valid license and present it upon request, while maintaining existing rules for public access to publicly funded aviation sites.
