SF 3480 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast information for fee collection use prohibition

This bill prohibits Minnesota state agencies, local governments, and private entities from using aircraft location data collected through ADS-B (aviation surveillance technology) to calculate, generate, or collect fees from aircraft owners or operators. It directly affects aircraft owners/operators and any entity that might charge fees based on flight data. The law amends Minnesota Statutes to explicitly ban this use of ADS-B information, making it illegal to leverage this aviation tracking data for fee purposes. The prohibition applies to all fees related to aircraft operating in Minnesota airspace.
