Relating to the regulation of vertiports.

HB 2521 establishes regulations for vertiports - infrastructure for vertical takeoff and landing aircraft like air taxis - that serve the public. It requires all such vertiports to comply with existing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) design and performance standards, and mandates owners to submit layout plans to the FAA for approval before operations begin. Local governments must ensure reasonable access to vertiports for all authorized operators and cannot grant exclusive rights to specific companies. The bill applies only to vertiports used by federal-authorized advanced air mobility operators providing passenger or cargo services. It takes effect September 1, 2025.
