THIRD READING
Bill No: SCR 114
Author: Fuller (R), et al.
Introduced:2/23/16
Vote: 21
SUBJECT: Aviation Awareness Month
SOURCE: Author
DIGEST: This resolution designates the month of April 2016 as
Aviation Awareness Month.
ANALYSIS: This resolution makes the following legislative
findings:
1)General aviation in America supports more than 1.2 million
jobs, many of them in small and medium-sized businesses, and
generates $150 billion in economic activity.
2)General aviation aircraft are used around the clock by law
enforcement officers, medical professionals, disaster relief
personnel, and others to reach people in need. General
aviation aircraft are also used by researchers to gather data
and map terrain.
3)America's agriculture industry uses general aviation in its
efforts to feed and clothe a hungry world. And the nation's
public utilities use general aviation to install and maintain
infrastructure vital to keeping the nation functioning.

4)Insufficient funding of Federal Aviation Administration
operations and airport and airspace infrastructure imposes
challenges on the ability of general aviation operators to
operate effectively.
5)Planning and zoning pressures and urban encroachment
contribute to reducing the number and availability of airports
throughout California and the United States, which annually
reduces the number of airports available to public and private
users.
This resolution recognizes the vital role general aviation plays
in the economy, health, safety, and protection of the nation,
and abstains from legislation and policies that impact this
industry's ability to continue to function effectively, and
therefor recognizes the month of April 2016 as Aviation
Awareness Month.
