H.R. 8216 is a Federal Aviation Administration funding authorization bill for fiscal years 2024 through 2028, introduced in May 2024. The bill includes a provision allowing the City of Banning, California to release its municipal airport from federal restrictions and close or repurpose the facility, provided the city reimburses the federal government for past FAA grants and transfers airport equipment to other facilities. Before the release takes effect, Banning must repay the fair market value of a 1983 FAA land grant, the unamortized portion of federal development grants used at the airport, and provide all salvageable aviation equipment at no cost. The bill maintains existing environmental review requirements and public notice procedures that would normally apply to airport projects, ensuring the release does not bypass standard federal oversight processes.
