Summary: The Senate Aeronautics and Transportation Committee heard several memorial highway and bridge designation bills and one substantive aviation/tax bill. The committee advanced SB 1323 (Marty Grisham memorial signage), SB 1863 (John Skelly Memorial Highway), SB 1932 (allowing a trucking company owner or other designated representative to appear without a lawyer in certain Corporation Commission administrative hearings), SB 1956 (Captain David Ward Neely Memorial Highway), SB 1970 (Private Earl Maggerton Memorial Bridge), and SB 1599 (Arlen Francis Wetzel Memorial Bridge). These measures were generally presented as honorary designations or procedural changes, with brief questions mainly about mileage or fiscal impact, and they all passed committee by voice or roll-call votes. The most extensive discussion centered on SB 1950, which would prohibit government entities or private vendors from using ADS-B aircraft tracking data to calculate, generate, or collect fees. Supporters argued that using the federally required safety system for fee collection encourages pilots to turn off ADS-B, undermining air safety, and said airports can collect fees through other methods. Opponents and committee members raised concerns that the bill could hinder lawful tax and fee collection, including aircraft excise taxes and landing fees, and that it might reduce revenue for airports and the state. After testimony from the bill author, an aviation association representative, and the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics director, the committee laid the bill over at the author’s request. The committee also heard SB 1312, which would have allowed owners of electric and hybrid vehicles to prepay the annual road-use fee over time rather than paying it in one lump sum. The author said the goal was to reduce the burden on low-income drivers and small businesses, but concerns were raised about fiscal impact and implementation. After title was stricken to allow further work, the bill failed on a 5-6 vote. The chair also announced that some items would be laid over and that the committee would not meet the following week.
