Relating to the establishment of the Texas airport investment partnership program.

HB 4524 establishes a Texas Airport Investment Partnership Program to provide below-market interest rate loans for infrastructure at general aviation airports. It directly affects eligible local entities like counties, municipalities, and airport authorities by funding projects such as runways, hangars, and safety improvements (excluding commercial carrier services). Key provisions include $10 million maximum loans for general aviation projects, a 10% non-state funding requirement, and a 20-year repayment term. The bill also prohibits loans to projects involving entities affiliated with China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia.
