California budget includes delay in costly flight school regulations

The California state budget released Oct. 7 includes a measure that would delay the implementation of costly flight school regulations in the California Private Postsecondary Act of 2009 until July 1, 2011. According to a report at AOPA.org, the association “has worked with key lawmakers during the past few weeks to include this much-needed delay in the final budget package to protect thousands of aviation jobs throughout the state. This language will allow more time for the legislature and industry stakeholders to work together to determine a more viable and healthy long-term solution to the issue of consumer protections for flight students.” Read the full report here.
