AB 534: Local agencies: airports: customer facility charges.

(1)Existing law authorizes airports to require rental companies to collect a customer facility charge or an alternative customer facility charge under specified circumstances for purposes that include financing, designing, and constructing airport vehicle rental facilities and common-use transportation systems. Existing law, beginning January 1, 2024, provides that the authorization for an airport to impose a customer facility charge becomes inoperative when the bonds used for financing are paid, except as specified.

This bill would delete the provision ending the authorization described above.

(2)If a bond or other form of indebtedness is not used for financing, or a bond or other form of indebtedness used for financing has been paid, existing law, beginning January 1, 2024, authorizes the Oakland International Airport to require the collection of a customer facility charge for a period of up to 10 years from the imposition of the charge for specified purposes and subject to certain conditions.

This bill would delete that provision.

(3)Existing law requires an airport to initiate the process for obtaining the authority to require or increase an alternative customer facility charge no later than January 1, 2025, as provided.

This bill would remove the requirement on an airport to initiate the process described above by January 1, 2025.

(4)This bill would make other conforming changes.
