Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

State grants to support air service

If enacted, the law would fund and expand Nevada air‑service grants. It would appropriate $10 million to the Nevada Aerospace Development Fund for an intrastate air‑service study and grants. It would also appropriate $1 million for FY 2025–2026 and $1 million for FY 2026–2027 to the Fund for Aviation to help rural airports match FAA funds. Grants would be for NPIAS public-use airports, must enable a carrier to start or keep service, and may guarantee an agreed revenue per flight or an agreed profit goal. Applications would need the carrier’s written commitment and support letters from participating airports. The State would not act as a guarantor of carrier debts.

New state Office of Aerospace

If enacted, this law would create an Office of Aerospace inside the Nevada Department of Transportation on July 1, 2025. The Governor would appoint a Director to plan for airports, vertiports, spaceports, advanced air mobility, and rural intrastate air service. The law would repeal the old Air Service Development Commission statutes but allow current commissioners to finish their terms. Any unspent money in the old Air Service Development Fund would move to the new Nevada Aerospace Development Fund on July 1, 2025.
