Aircraft and Airports - As introduced, establishes a process for renaming an international airport governed by a metropolitan airport authority to Trump International Airport. - Amends TCA Title 42, Chapter 3; Title 42, Chapter 4 and Title 55.

HB 217 designates an international airport operated by a designated metropolitan airport authority (in a county with over 500,000 residents) as "Trump International Airport." The bill requires the authority to update all trademarks, contracts, bylaws, and official documents to reflect this name, including amending USPTO registrations or filing new applications. This procedural bill directly affects the airport authority and its operations, with no substantive policy changes beyond the name designation. The bill failed in committee on March 18, 2025.
