This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 28-8211, which would prohibit the state, its political subdivisions, or private entities from using surveillance equipment or information from an automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast system to impose fees on aircraft owners or operators within Arizona's airspace. This represents a significant change to current law by explicitly restricting the use of such surveillance data for financial purposes.

Additionally, the bill defines "automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast system" as a technology that integrates an aircraft's positioning system, avionics, and ground infrastructure to facilitate communication between aircraft and air traffic control. This definition is a new insertion that clarifies the type of surveillance technology being addressed in the legislation, ensuring that the scope of the prohibition is well understood.
