What’s in it

This bill prohibits a person from collecting or using data broadcast by automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) to calculate, generate, impose, or collect fees associated with the operation of aircraft within Iowa. The bill defines ADS-B for purposes of the bill. Generally, ADS-B is an aviation surveillance technology and form of electronic conspicuity in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation or other sensors and periodically broadcasts its position and other related data, enabling it to be tracked.
