parties.
This
bill
alters
certain
notice
provisions
involving
34

2
by

continuously
used
beyond
the
boundaries
of
the
state,
then

the
owner
is
required

the
aircraft’s
certificate
of

registration
to
the
DOT
within
30
days,

of
the
destruction,
dismantling,
or

and
make
a
claim

The
bill
strikes
the

of
10
registration
to
the
DOT
within

notice
to
the
DOT
upon
the

The
bill
strikes
the
requirement
16
that
the
notice
be
upon
the
form
on
the
reverse
side
of
the
17
certificate
of
registration.
