Official statutory text
A. Scope. A municipality, which has established or acquired or
which may hereafter establish or acquire an airport, vertiport, or
air navigation facility, is authorized to adopt, amend and repeal
such reasonable ordinance, resolutions, rules, regulations and
orders as it shall deem necessary for the management, government and
use of such airport, vertiport, or air navigation facility under its
control, whether situated within or without the territorial limits
of the municipality. For the enforcement thereof, the municipality,
may, by ordinance or resolution, as may by law be appropriate,
appoint airport guards or police, with full police powers, and fix
penalties, within the limits prescribed by law, for the violation of
the aforesaid ordinances, resolutions, rules, regulations and
orders. Enforcement may also be conducted by airport officers
holding a commission from and employed by an airport trust as
defined in, and pursuant to and in accordance with, the provisions
and requirements of the Oklahoma Campus Security Act, and who, as a
result of which, hold full police powers. Said penalties shall be
enforced in the same manner in which penalties prescribed by other
ordinances, or resolutions of the municipality are enforced. To the
extent that an airport, vertiport, or other air navigation facility
controlled and operated by a municipality is located outside the
territorial limits of the municipality, it shall, subject to federal
and state laws, rules and regulations, be under the jurisdiction and
control of the municipality controlling or operating it, and no
other municipality shall have any authority to charge or exact a
license fee or occupation tax for operations thereon.
B. Conformity to Federal and State Law. All ordinances,
resolutions, rules, regulations or orders which are issued by the
municipality shall be kept in substantial conformity with the laws
of this state or any regulations promulgated or standards
established pursuant thereto, and, as nearly as may be, with the
federal laws governing aerospace and aeronautics and the rules,
regulations and standards duly issued thereunder.
