FLIGHT SCHOOL: CRIMINAL CHECK - S.B. 1006 (S-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 1006 (Substitute S-1 as reported)
Sponsor: Senator George Z. Hart
Committee: Judiciary
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Aeronautics Code to require that a flight school request from the Department of State Police criminal records division a criminal history check, and a criminal records check through the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), on any applicant for training at the flight school. The bill is tie-barred to Senate Bill 934.
A flight school applicant would have to cooperate with the school in completing the criminal history and criminal records checks. If, in the preceding seven years, the applicant had been convicted of a felony, or had been incarcerated, on parole, or on probation for a felony conviction, the flight school could not enroll the applicant or would have to terminate his or her enrollment.

FISCAL IMPACT
State Police. The bill would have a minimal fiscal impact on the Department of State Police. The Department routinely provides criminal history background checks at a cost of $15 and fingerprint records checks at the State level for $30 and through the FBI for $24 under circumstances provided by State law.
Transportation. The Michigan State Aeronautics Commission is responsible for licensing flight schools. The bill would not affect the activities of the Commission and therefore would not have a fiscal impact on the Michigan Department of Transportation.
