Overview
This bill changes a law regarding how Michigan’s airport authorities can receive federal funding. Currently, airport authorities must get approval from the state commission before applying for federal airport grants. This bill removes that requirement, allowing them to directly apply to the Federal Aviation Administration, provided the project is first approved by the commission. The bill also clarifies that funds received for airport improvements must go through the state treasury and be disbursed according to state accounting laws.
Key provisions
- Airport authorities can now directly apply for federal airport grants without prior state commission approval.
- The state commission must still approve airport projects before they can be submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration.
- Federal funds for airport improvements must be channeled through the state treasury.
- Disbursements of these funds must comply with state accounting laws and procedures.
- The bill does not apply to qualified airports if federal law prohibits direct funding.
