The 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. It defines ADS-B as aviation surveillance technology that combines an aircraft's positioning system, avionics, and ground infrastructure to facilitate communication between aircraft and air traffic control.

The key provision of the new subdivision prohibits the state, political subdivisions, and private entities from using information obtained from 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 section is set to take effect the day after the bill is enacted.
