House Bill No. [insert bill number] aims to revise laws concerning airports that receive state funding in Montana. The bill mandates that these airports must provide specific no-cost services to light aircraft, which are defined as aircraft with a gross weight of 12,500 pounds or less. The required services include allowing light aircraft to land, taxi, and park with tie downs for up to seven days, as well as providing access for passengers and aircrew through existing security fencing. Importantly, the bill stipulates that no additional fees can be charged for these services unless they are clearly communicated and agreed upon prior to each flight.

Additionally, the bill includes a codification instruction indicating that the new provisions will be integrated into Title 67, chapter 1, part 1 of the Montana Code. This legislative change is designed to enhance accessibility and support for light aircraft operations at state-funded airports, ensuring that these aircraft can utilize airport facilities without incurring unexpected costs.
