HISTORY: 1977 Act No. 205 Section 2; 2012 Act No. 270, Section 8, eff June 18, 2012.
Editor's Note
Section 1 of 1977 Act No. 205 provides as follows:
"The General Assembly has found it to be in the public interest to provide modern air transportation facilities capable of providing service for all modern air transport. To accomplish this, the General Assembly has heretofore created several airport districts and charged the governing authorities thereof with the functions of acquiring, planning, establishing, developing, constructing, enlarging, improving, maintaining, equipping, operating, regulating, protecting and policing airports and suitable air nevigation facilities.
"The General Assembly finds that the function of air transportation is not peculiar to a single county or counties. The providing and maintaining of modern air transportation service and facilities serves the needs of a large region of the state's population. The General Assembly has determined to designate certain airport districts in this State as regional airport districts.
"The General Assembly finds that some of the airport facilities are inadequate and from time to time are in need of repair and improvement and has theretofore determined to empower the governing authorities of such regional airport districts to issue general obligation bonds of the airport district."
