RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 67 (SB 181) 2022 Regular Session McMath
Existing law provides definitions for terms used in the Airport Construction and
Development Priority Program.
New law adds a definition for the term "sponsor".
Prior law required the department to approve the engineering and construction plans for any
proposed projects that are prepared by consultant or contract engineers for any recipient
airport authority.
Prior law required the department to inspect a completed project and the engineer is required
to certify construction is in accordance with all plans and specifications.
New law provides the department is permitted, but not required, to approve the engineering
and construction plans and is not required to inspect a completed project.
New law provides the sponsor shall certify that construction is in accordance with plans and
specifications, not the department.
Effective May 17, 2022.
