Summary

Parking data was already shielded. Now any airport facility use is.

The bill widens an existing rule that keeps airport parking customer data secret from public records requests so that it covers data collected about a person's use of any airport facility. It touches local governments and certain joint airport boards that run airports, and anyone who requests public records about airport users. Travel dates, flight information, purchase records, online profile names, lounge memberships and trusted traveler information can no longer be released under the Public Information Act, starting with requests received on or after September 1, 2025.
