Allowing the department of transportation to recognize volunteer pilots. 


    AN ACT Relating to recognition of volunteer pilots; and amending RCW 47.68.233.

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

 

    Sec. 1.  RCW 47.68.233 and 1987 c 220 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

    The department shall require that every pilot who is a resident of this state and every nonresident pilot who regularly operates any aircraft in this state be registered with the department.  The department shall charge an annual fee not to exceed ten dollars for each registration.  All registration certificates issued under this section shall be renewed annually during the month of the registrant's birthdate.

    The registration fee imposed by this section shall be used by the department for the purpose of (a) search and rescue of lost and downed aircraft and airmen under the direction and supervision of the secretary ((and)), (b) safety and education, and (c) volunteer recognition and support.

    Registration shall be effected by filing with the department a certified written statement that contains the information reasonably required by the department.  The department shall issue certificates of registration and in connection therewith shall prescribe requirements for the possession and exhibition of the certificates.

    The provisions of this section do not apply to:

    (1) A pilot who operates an aircraft exclusively in the service of any government or any political subdivision thereof, including the government of the United States, any state, territory, or possession of the United States, or the District of Columbia;

    (2) A pilot registered under the laws of a foreign country;

    (3) A pilot engaged exclusively in commercial flying constituting an act of interstate or foreign commerce;

    (4) A person piloting an aircraft equipped with fully functioning dual controls when a licensed instructor is in full charge of one set of the controls and the flight is solely for instruction or for the demonstration of the aircraft to a bona fide prospective purchaser.

    Failure to register as provided in this section is a violation of RCW 47.68.230 and subjects the offender to the penalties incident thereto.


    Passed the House January 31, 2000.

    Passed the Senate February 29, 2000.

Approved by the Governor March 27, 2000.
