Summary of Legislation: (Amended) Fuel Source– The bill prohibits, subject to specified exceptions, a
county, municipality, township, or neighborhood or homeowners association from adopting or enforcing an
ordinance, order, regulation, resolution, policy, or similar measure that: (1) prohibits or restricts the use, sale,
or lease of a motor vehicle or outdoor equipment; (2) distinguishes between motor vehicles or outdoor
equipment; or (3) results in differing regulatory standards for motor vehicles or outdoor equipment; based
on the fuel source that powers the motor vehicle or outdoor equipment.
Ordinances– The bill requires political subdivisions located within five miles of the end of a runway of a
publicly owned, public use airport to adopt an airspace overlay zoning ordinance.
Effective Date:  July 1, 2025.

Explanation of State Revenues: 
Explanation of Local Expenditures: Fuel Source– A local unit with an ordinance, order, regulation, or
policy in effect that is in violation would essentially be voided. A local unit would be able to implement the
bill’s provisions within existing resources. 
(Revised) Ordinances– This provision may increase the workload of affected political subdivision planning
commissions to develop and review any plans that would be needed for an airspace overlay zoning ordinance.
It is likely political subdivision governing bodies would be able to adopt any required ordinances as a routine
order of business.
