Florida Statute 332.0075

Commercial Service Airports Transparency and Accountability Reporting Compliance 


Florida Statute 332.0075, which became effective October 1, 2020 impacts Florida’s commercial service airports and seeks to provide transparency and accountability through required disclosures.  The Jacksonville Aviation Authority is subject to compliance with the requirements of F.S. 332.0075.

The statute requires specified information related to the airports operations be posted on the organizations website.  These required disclosures a readily accessible through the links provided below. .





Florida Statute 403.411

Beginning on Oct. 1, 2025, all operators of public-use airports within the State of Florida must report the presence of any aircraft equipped with weather modification or geoengineering equipment to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) on a monthly basis. This is in response to recent changes to Florida law regarding the prohibition on geoengineering and weather modification activities within the State of Florida, including the injection, release or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate or sunlight intensity. Non-compliance with this initiative could potentially result in the loss of critical funding from the state, which JAA relies on for the continued improvement and upkeep of our aviation and airport infrastructure.

As stated previously, the JAA is required to provide a monthly report to the FDOT based on the following:

-An inventory or account detailing the physical presence of any aircraft on public property, including any public infrastructure, equipped with any part, component, device, or the like which may be used to support the intentional emission, injection, release, or dispersion of air contaminants into the atmosphere within the borders of this state when such emissions occur for the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, climate, or the intensity of sunlight.

-The landing, takeoff, stopover, or refueling of an aircraft equipped with the components outlined in paragraph (a) on the physical location of the public infrastructure.


Anyone with information related to any aircraft meeting the conditions above at Cecil Airport (VQQ), Herlong Recreational Airport (KHEG), Jacksonville Executive at Craig Airport (CRG), or Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) is asked to call 904-741-3167
