SR 89 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution directing the Joint State Government Commission to conduct an assessment, inventory and analysis of State-owned aircraft and aviation assets and provide recommendations for increased efficiency and cost savings.

This resolution directs Pennsylvania's Joint State Government Commission to study the state's aircraft and aviation assets (like planes, helicopters, and hangars) owned by departments including Transportation, the Attorney General's office, and State Police. The study must inventory all assets, review operational needs, costs (including maintenance and storage), insurance, and compare leasing versus ownership to identify savings. It requires the Commission to examine best practices from other states and the private sector, then provide cost-saving recommendations to the legislature within 12 months. The goal is to improve efficiency and transparency in managing these resources for taxpayer savings.
