On October 15, 2006, legislation went into effect requiring mandatory criminal history background checks for applicants for flight school instruction. Details regarding the legislation is available at the Department of Criminal Justice website.
NYAMA opposed this legislation on the grounds of federal preemption, and has been working with DCJS and the bill's sponsors to address a number of problems with the legislation. NYAMA has urged DCJS to promulgate regulations that clarify the many confusing and obscure elements of the legislation.

The
following report outlines key legislative issues and updates affecting
aviation in New York State. NYAMA will be disseminating this report
periodically to help keep members abreast of issues in Albany.
The Governor and Governor’s Staff
Governor Elliot Spitzer in his State of the State announced his
intentions to concentrate on revitalization of the Upstate economy, in
part by state investment in infrastructure. While the importance of the
state's "fourth major downstate airport" (Stewart) is mentioned, there
is no further references to aviation.
Daniel
Gundersen, who has run day-to-day operations at Pennsylvania's economic
development office since 2003 after similar stints at agencies in
Maryland and Philadelphia, will become co-chairman of the state's
Empire State Development Corp. and head of its new upstate office in
Buffalo. Kenneth A. Schoetz, who headed Spitzer's Buffalo office while
Spitzer was state attorney general, to be the agency's chief operating
officer. Beyond Spitzer's plans to help the upstate region by cutting
property taxes and business costs—like workers' compensation—and
pumping money into aging infrastructures, Gundersen said he envisions
devising an economic recovery plan "that recognizes each region has its
own unique set of issues and to develop blueprints for solutions." Pat
Foye, Spitzer's friend of 20 years, is the downstate co-chairman.
The other key player in the administration is the Budget Director and Senior Advisor to the Governor, Paul Francis.

The New York Aviation Management Association (NYAMA) is pleased to
announce its support for the Rebuild and Renew New York Transportation
Bond Act of 2005, to be presented to the State’s voting citizens as a
referendum on the November 8 ballot.
NYAMA
finds the 2005 Transportation Bond Act to be a fiscally sound
investment in New York State’s transportation system, providing
critical funding for the State’s airports, highways, bridges, rail
system, ports, mass transit, and canals. It will significantly benefit
the State’s traveling public through helping to ensure a state of good
repair and transportation safety.
