A bill that would exempt California fight training organizations from onerous fees and reporting requirements imposed by a 2009 post-secondary education law took a major step toward final passage Aug. 25 with approval by the state Assembly.

Senate Bill 619 was then referred back to the Senate, which had passed the measure in May, for adoption of technical corrections.

Jerry Brown, said AOPA Vice President of Airports and State Advocacy Greg Pecoraro. [more]
