SCR 10 Utah Senate · 2026 General Session

Concurrent Resolution Emphasizing Utah's Commitment to Advanced Air Mobility

Utah's legislature passed SCR 10, a concurrent resolution expressing the state's commitment to advancing Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) technologies like air taxis and drone deliveries. The resolution highlights Utah's aerospace innovation history, its geographic and regulatory advantages for AAM testing, and sets a goal to establish an operational AAM system and vertiport network by the 2034 Winter Olympics. It emphasizes collaboration with federal agencies (like the FAA and DOT) without appropriating state funds, instead focusing on policy leadership and coordination. The resolution serves as a formal statement to showcase Utah as a model for AAM development to federal partners.

MODERATE

The bill was amended to replace a single paragraph with seven distinct 'Whereas' clauses that provide a more detailed history of Utah's aerospace work, explicitly mention existing funding for test sites, and clarify the timeline for a vertiport network before the 2034 Winter Olympics. A new clause was added to explicitly state that the resolution does not authorize new state spending, clarifying that it is a policy statement rather than a budget request. The final section was updated to direct copies of the resolution to federal partners for their information.

Scope change

The scope of the resolution was expanded to include specific details about Utah's existing AAM coalition, previous funding for test sites, and a commitment to sharing the resolution with federal agencies.

TIMELINE

Added specific references to the 2034 Winter Olympic Games as the target date for establishing an operational AAM system and vertiport network.

FISCAL

Added a clause acknowledging that funds have already been appropriated for AAM personnel and test site operations, while explicitly stating this resolution does not authorize new appropriations.

DEFINITION

Expanded the background section to define Utah's AAM coalition as including government, academia, cities, counties, airports, and industry leaders.

TECHNICAL

Reorganized the text from a single paragraph into seven separate clauses to improve readability and detail.
