A bill for an act relating to aircraft automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast data, making penalties applicable, and including effective date provisions.
HSB 700 prohibits using aircraft tracking data (ADS-B) to calculate, charge, or collect fees for operating aircraft within Iowa. It specifically bans people or companies from collecting or using this data - which shows an aircraft’s location, altitude, and speed - to impose fees on pilots or operators. Violators face penalties under existing fraud laws, ranging from a $105 fine for minor offenses to up to 10 years in jail for large-scale violations. The law takes effect on November 1, 2026.
