HB 2687 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Prohibiting any governmental agency from regulating landings, takeoffs or the operation of aquatic aircraft on waters of the state.

HB 2687 prohibits state and local government agencies from regulating or banning the takeoff, landing, or operation of aquatic aircraft (like seaplanes and floatplanes) on Kansas waters where vessels are permitted. It specifically blocks agencies from requiring permits, fees, or imposing restrictions on these aircraft operations. The bill directly affects aquatic aircraft operators and owners by removing regulatory barriers on state waters. This policy change ensures that such aircraft are not subject to the same permitting requirements as traditional vessels.
