2. Exempts a charter school or district school that exists within two miles of a public use airport runway as of January 1, 2015, unless the charter school seeks to build a new structure. (Sec. 1)

Additional Information
The FAA conducts an aeronautical study when requested by the sponsor of any proposed construction or alteration, or if it deems a study is necessary. The study is conducted to determine the impact of a proposed structure or alteration on aeronautical operations, procedures and the safety of flight. The FAA issues a determination stating whether certain proposed constructions or alterations would be a hazard to air navigation and makes the determinations based on the aeronautical study findings. The FAA issues either a determination of hazard or a determination of no hazard. A determination of no hazard is issued when the study concludes that the proposed construction or alteration will exceed an obstruction standard, but would not have a substantial impact to air navigation and may include: 1) conditional provisions of a determination; 2) limitations necessary to minimize potential problems; 3) supplemental notice requirements; and 4) marking and lighting recommendations (14 CFR, Part 77(D)).
