2025 and 2026
HB4182

Introduced 10/28/2025, by Rep. Stephanie A. Kifowit

SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:

See Index

Amends the Airport Authorities Act. Provides that, for authorities
other than Metropolitan Airport Authorities, the Greater Metropolitan
Airport Authority, and the Crawford County Airport Authority, in the order
finding the results of the election to be favorable to the establishment of
the authority, the circuit court shall determine the population of the
authority and the population of each municipality located in whole or in
part within the corporate limits of the authority having 5,000 or more
inhabitants who reside within the corporate limits of the authority
according to the last census (rather than the population of each
municipality within the authority having 5,000 or more inhabitants
according to the last census). Provides that, if a municipality located in
whole or in part within the corporate limits of the authority attains 5,000
or more inhabitants who reside within the corporate limits of the
authority (rather than if the municipality that is located wholly within
the authority attains 5,000 inhabitants), or if a municipality having
5,000 or more inhabitants who reside within the corporate limits of the
authority is established (rather than if a municipality located wholly
within the authority having a population of 5,000 or more inhabitants),
then the presiding officer of the municipality may petition the circuit
court for an order finding and determining the population of the
municipality and, if it is found and determined upon the hearing of the
petition that 5,000 or more inhabitants reside within the corporate limits
of both the municipality and the authority (rather than the population of
the municipality is 5,000 or more), then the board of commissioners of the
authority as previously established shall be increased by one commissioner
who shall reside within the corporate limits of the municipality and shall
be appointed by its presiding officer. Provides that all appointments of
Commissioners to Boards of Commissioners of Airport Authorities shall be
in writing and shall indicate the legal residence of the person appointed
and whether or not he resides within or without a municipality having a
population of 5,000 or more inhabitants within the corporate limits of the
authority (rather than having a population of 5,000 or more).
