NJAA Chairman Frank Steinberg expressed opposition against NY
Senate Bill S7493A to New York Governor
Hochul. This bill would have allowed the
state attorney general and anyone else to sue a pilot, flight department, line
service or company employee for "unreasonable level of noise in NY State.
New York Governor Hochul cited the "stop the chop bill's
questionable legality in rendering her decision, noting in her veto
statement, "Recent federal case law makes clear that non-federal actors
must carefully consider how state and local restrictions interact with federal
laws governing aviation and must be attentive to federally mandated processes
for enacting policy in this area. Certain elements of this legislation run
counter to the federal scheme regulating New York's airports and airspace.
Therefore, I am constrained to veto this bill.
