What it does
Under current law, an aircraft manufacturer or dealer may operate an aircraft for purposes of transporting, testing, demonstrating, or selling the aircraft without registering the aircraft by obtaining a special certificate from the department of transportation (DOT). This bill limits the period a manufacturer or dealer may operate the aircraft under a special certificate to three years. The bill increases the annual fee for a special certificate from $100 to $400, and provides that a special certificate expires at midnight on October rather than midnight on June 30.
