❌ HB333
Enact the Airspace Protection Act
Summary
The Airspace Protection Act amends various sections of the Ohio Revised Code to regulate navigable airspace, establish an office of aviation within the Department of Transportation, and set requirements for permits related to the construction and alteration of structures that may affect air navigation. It includes provisions for inspections, safety rules, and penalties for violations, while also repealing certain existing sections.
Rationale
The bill increases government regulation over airspace and imposes restrictions on property owners regarding the construction and alteration of structures, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and property rights. Both the LP and LPO platforms advocate for limited government and individual rights, which this bill undermines.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over private property
- Potential for overreach in enforcement of airspace regulations
- Imposition of penalties that may disproportionately affect individuals
