§ 14-m. Airport security. 1. For the purposes of this section, the
following terms shall have the following meanings: (a) the term
"airport" shall have the same meaning as such term is defined in
subdivision five of section two hundred forty of the general business
law except that such term shall not include any airport operated by a
bi-state authority nor any airport with scheduled commercial air carrier
service;

(b) the term "aircraft" shall have the same meaning as such term is
defined in subdivision one of section two hundred forty of the general
business law;

(c) the term "private-use airport" shall mean an airport used
exclusively by the owner thereof and persons authorized by such owner;

(d) the term "public-use airport" shall mean an airport available for
use by the general public without a requirement for the prior approval
of the owner or operator thereof except as may be required by federal
law or regulation.

This section shall not be construed to replace or supersede airport
security standards required by the United States department of homeland
security or transportation security administration or safety standards
required by the United States department of transportation or federal
aviation administration.

2. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, in order to
enhance security at the airports of the state, each private-use and
public-use airport located, in whole or in part, in New York state
shall:

(a)(i) Register with the department within one year from the effective
date of this section. Such registration shall be valid for a period of
three years, and shall be submitted on forms provided by the department
which shall contain the following information: the physical and mailing
addresses of such airport; the telephone number, facsimile number, and
e-mail address of such airport; the name or names and telephone number
or numbers of one or more twenty-four hour security contact persons, as
designated by such airport; a map showing the location and general
boundaries of such airport; and such other information as the department
may reasonably prescribe. Such registration also shall be accompanied by
the written security plan required pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
subdivision.

(ii) Each such airport shall renew its registration with the
department every three years. Requests for renewal shall be made on
forms supplied by the department and shall not be accepted unless
accompanied with an updated written security plan as provided in
paragraph (b) of this subdivision.

(b) (i) Each private-use and public-use airport shall document its
security procedures in a written security plan that is consistent with
the most recent security guidelines for general aviation airports
published by the United States transportation security administration.
Such plan shall be updated every three years and submitted to the
department with each such airport's renewal application for
registration. In developing such plan, each airport shall consider the
applicable security enhancement recommendations contained in the most
recent security guidelines for general aviation airports published by
the United States transportation security administration. Each written
plan shall include a description of how the airport has addressed each
applicable recommendation of such guidelines, and a justification for
not adopting any applicable recommendation suggested by such guidelines
for the airport's security characteristics. Applicable recommendations
from such document should be determined by such airport by using the
airport characteristics self-assessment measurement tool available in
such document and any other self-assessment tools subsequently issued by
the transportation security administration.

(ii) In addition to submitting such plan to the department in
compliance with paragraph (a) of this subdivision, each airport shall
submit a copy of such plan and all updates thereof to local law
enforcement agencies having jurisdiction over such airport, the New York
state police, and the New York state office of homeland security.

(c)(i) In addition to the other provisions of this section,
private-use airports shall:

(A) require all aircraft to be double-locked, with one lock internal
to the aircraft, and one lock external to the aircraft, when such
aircraft is not in operation; and

(B) provide that all hangars be locked when not in use.

(ii) In addition to the other provisions of this section, public-use
airports shall:

(A) meet all the requirements of private-use airports set forth in
subparagraph (i) of this paragraph;

(B) require verification of the identity of all aircraft passengers by
the aircraft crew;

(C) maintain a log of all transient aircraft for a minimum of five
years;

(D) develop a written list of emergency contacts and telephone
numbers, to be available to airport personnel;

(E) restrict the access of unlicensed persons and student pilots to
aircraft keys;

(F) require persons renting aircraft to present government-issued
identification, which identification shall be in addition to any pilot's
license;

(G) post airport security warning signs and advisories where
appropriate;

(H) create an emergency locator map, which may be hand-drawn generally
to scale, identifying areas such as runways, ramp areas, fence lines,
gates, hydrants, emergency shelters, buildings and hazardous materials
sites, and provide copies of such map to emergency response agencies
serving such airport, to law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction
over such airport, and appropriate airport personnel. Whenever there is
a physical change involving such areas, such map shall be revised and
resubmitted to the aforementioned emergency response and law enforcement
agencies and airport personnel within sixty days of such change; and

(I) familiarize local law enforcement with the airport and consult
with them in the airport's development of appropriate security
procedures.

3. The map required to be created pursuant to clause (H) of
subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (c) of subdivision two of this section
and the written security plan required pursuant to paragraph (b) of
subdivision two of this section shall prominently display the following
statement: "This document may contain information that if disclosed
could endanger the life or safety of the public, and therefore this
document is to be maintained and used in a manner which preserves the
confidentiality of the information contained herein in a manner
consistent with law."

4. A person or entity who submits or otherwise makes available to any
state agency or agency of any subdivision thereof the registrations and
security plans produced pursuant to the requirements of this section may
at any time identify those records or portions thereof that contain
critical security information and request that the agency that maintains
such records except such information from disclosure pursuant to
subparagraph one-a of paragraph (a) of subdivision five of section
eighty-nine of the public officers law.
