CA AB2554

Prohibits local government governing bodies from granting exclusive rights to a single operator to develop vertiports or control vertiport operations within their jurisdiction.

Defines "vertiport" as an area of land or structure used or intended for vertical takeoff and landing aircraft operations.

Applies to all cities, including charter cities, as the bill addresses a statewide concern rather than a municipal affair.

Provides that no state reimbursement is required because any costs incurred by local agencies result from changes to criminal penalties related to violations of the State Aeronautics Act.
