The bill mandates the Alabama Department of Transportation to develop a comprehensive statewide plan that incorporates vertiports, electric aviation charging, and the necessary infrastructure for advancements in aviation technology. It specifies that no existing state revenues from the Public Road and Bridge Fund, the Rebuild Alabama Fund, or other matching federal funds can be utilized for the development or updating of this plan or for providing educational and technical resources to local and regional jurisdictions. Additionally, the Department is required to designate a liaison for advanced air mobility to assist local and regional jurisdictions in navigating these advancements.

Furthermore, the bill restricts political subdivisions of the state, excluding airport operators, from enacting any laws, ordinances, regulations, or rules related to advanced air mobility. Airport operators are permitted to enact regulations only within their geographical boundaries. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2024. The bill includes the insertion of new legal language regarding the responsibilities of the Department of Transportation and the limitations on political subdivisions, while no deletions from current law are specified.
