Requesting the Department of Transportation to conduct an assessment report to evaluate the feasibility and practicality of implementing higher levels of commercial general liability insurance for the general aviation industry and helicopter operations at airports in the State.
WHEREAS, the Legislature seeks to promote the highest levels of safety in the general aviation industry and in the operation of helicopters in the State; and
