AN ACT
relating to liens on aircraft for certain charges.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 70.301, Property Code, is amended by
adding Subsection (c) to read as follows:
(c) This section applies to the fueling of an aircraft
without regard to whether the fueling is performed within or
outside of this state or the United States. This subsection does
not apply to the fueling of an aircraft owned, leased, or operated
by or on behalf of an air carrier that is certificated to conduct
scheduled air transportation services under 14 C.F.R. Part 121.
SECTION 2. Subchapter D, Chapter 70, Property Code, is
amended by adding Section 70.3011 to read as follows:
Sec. 70.3011. EFFECT ON OTHER LAW. This subchapter does not
abridge the protections afforded by any applicable law, including:
(1) Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code; and
(2) common law.
SECTION 3. Section 70.301(c), Property Code, as added by
this Act, applies only to the fueling of an aircraft performed on or
after the effective date of this Act. The fueling of an aircraft
performed before the effective date of this Act is governed by the
law applicable to the fueling immediately before that date, and the
former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 4. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
