A bill to amend 1945 PA 327, entitled “Aeronautics code of the state of Michigan,” by amending section 135 (MCL 259.135), as amended by 1982 PA 466.
The bill allows political subdivisions in Michigan to accept federal or other assistance for airport-related projects. However, it restricts these subdivisions from directly submitting project applications to the Federal Aviation Administration or accepting federal funds without prior approval from the state commission. Instead, the commission must act as the agent to receive and disburse such funds, ensuring compliance with federal and state laws. Exceptions are made for qualified airports unless federal regulations prohibit direct transactions.
