Provides that each State-owned aircraft not designated for emergency use is surplus property and must be sold by whatever method will be most profitable to the State, which may include a widely used global Internet auction site (now, a transferable airplane may be disposed of only if (i) it is no longer needed, (ii) it will not be used as a trade-in, and (iii) a public university or college offering aviation-related instruction or training has not listed its need for an airplane). Requires that the sale proceeds be deposited into the State Parks Fund and used for State park improvements. Effective immediately.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
