Certain air transport and contracting related to detained individuals requirements provisions
This bill establishes new requirements for air transport and contracting involving detained individuals in Minnesota. It mandates that airlines and ground service providers collect specific information about detained passengers, including medical history, legal circumstances, and contact details, using a standardized form available in multiple languages. The legislation also prohibits refueling aircraft carrying restrained individuals unless they are moved to climate-controlled areas with access to water and restrooms, and requires monthly reporting on compliance with these procedures. These rules directly affect airline companies, fixed base operators at airports, and emergency response personnel who may need access to the collected information during incidents.
