 Organization,  impact  investment  in general aviation operations within
 the state;
   c. the effect of airport improvement and  revitalization  projects  on
 investment in general aviation operations within the state;
   d.  an analysis of the tax burden imposed on general aviation entities
 within the state as opposed to other states and its impact on investment
 in general aviation services; and
   e. measures other  states  or  countries  have  taken  to  incentivize
 investment in general aviation services.
   §  2.  a. The task force shall consist of nine members to be appointed
 as follows:
   (1) three members appointed by the governor;
   (2) two members appointed by the temporary president of the senate;
   (3) two members appointed by the speaker of the assembly; and

   d.  All appointments shall be made no later than thirty days after the
 effective date of this  act.  All  vacancies  shall  be  filled  by  the
 appointing authority.
