SB 701 - This act modifies the law regarding the issuance of
pilot licenses. Under the current law, it is unlawful for anyone
to fly a plane without a pilot's license issued by the Department
of Commerce. This statute has not been amended since 1939. The
Department of Commerce is no longer the agency responsible for
issuing such licenses. Pilot licenses are referred to as airmen
certificates under federal law, and the Federal Aviation
Administration is the agency responsible for their issuance.
This act modifies the law to reflect the current status of the
law.
