This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new article related to Aviation, specifically focusing on Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). It introduces definitions for terms such as "Advanced Air Mobility," "Vertiport," and various types of electric aircraft, including eCTOL and eVTOL. The bill mandates the development of a statewide aviation plan that incorporates vertiports and electric aircraft charging stations, as well as the designation of a department expert to assist local jurisdictions in implementing advancements in aviation technology. Additionally, it requires the provision of educational materials and technical resources to support uniform planning and zoning related to powered lift aircraft and electric aircraft.

Furthermore, the bill restricts political subdivisions from enacting ordinances or regulations concerning advanced air mobility, except for those that control or own an airport, which may govern operations within their geographic boundaries. The article specifically applies to electric aircraft with a gross takeoff weight of 300 pounds or more that can carry passengers or cargo, thereby updating current statutes to reflect the evolving landscape of aviation technology and infrastructure needs.
