This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 360.55, by adding a new subdivision that addresses the use of automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) information. The bill defines ADS-B as aviation surveillance technology that facilitates communication between aircraft and air traffic control, incorporating both ADS-B In and ADS-B Out systems.

The key provision of the bill prohibits the state, political subdivisions, and private entities from using information obtained through ADS-B systems to calculate, generate, or collect fees from aircraft owners or operators flying in Minnesota airspace. This measure aims to protect aircraft operators from potential fees based on surveillance data. The new section is set to take effect the day after the bill is enacted.
