A bill for an act creating a study committee on advanced air mobility.

HF 2405 creates a study committee within Iowa's Department of Transportation to evaluate whether an advisory committee is needed to support planning for advanced air mobility (electric aircraft like eVTOLs for urban transportation). The committee, including aviation experts, industry representatives, and stakeholders, must report by January 11, 2027, on whether an advisory committee is necessary. If one is established, it will review state laws, assess costs, create planning resources, and coordinate with utilities and local governments before reporting to the legislature by January 10, 2028. The bill expires July 1, 2028.
