What’s in it

In 2015, the general assembly repealed a provision which required the display of an aircraft’s certificate of registration under certain circumstances and the presentation of the certificate for inspection upon a demand by various parties. This bill alters certain notice provisions involving the return of an aircraft’s certificate of registration to the department of transportation (DOT). Under current law, if a registered aircraft is destroyed by fire or accident or junked, and its identity as an aircraft entirely eliminated, or the aircraft is removed and continuously used beyond the boundaries of the state, then the owner is required to return the aircraft’s certificate of registration to the DOT within days, provide an affidavit of the destruction, dismantling, or removal, and make a claim for a refund of the registration fee.

Read the full explanation

The bill strikes the requirement that the owner return the aircraft’s certificate of registration to the DOT within days, and instead requires the owner to provide notice to the DOT within days. Under current law, upon transfer of ownership of a registered aircraft, the owner is required to immediately give notice to the DOT upon the form on the reverse side of the certificate of registration. The bill strikes the requirement that the notice be upon the form on the reverse side of the certificate of registration.
