Section 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.
    (iii) Every original and renewal application for registration shall be
  accompanied by a registration fee of twenty-five dollars for private-use
  airports, and of fifty dollars for public-use airports.
    (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.
