The Florida House Ways and Means Committee has unanimously approved HB 1903, a bill aimed at facilitating the development of vertiports by allowing the Florida Department of Transportation to fund private vertiports and cover a significant portion of costs when federal funding is utilized. The legislation seeks to provide legal protections for private operators and establish regulations for electric aircraft charging stations and vertiport design, with the goal of promoting economic growth in the advanced air mobility sector. A similar bill is set for discussion in the Senate.
