Aircraft; registration, clarifies definition.
Summary
Aircraft; registration; definition. Requires an aircraft be registered in the Commonwealth if it is based in the Commonwealth for more than 90 days during a calendar year. Current law requires registration if the aircraft is based in the Commonwealth for more than 60 days during a 12-month period.

The bill also amends the definition of "aircraft" to clarify that aircraft means a contrivance designed for flight that is occupied by one or more persons. This bill was incorporated into SB 356.
