SACCO-DORIA BILL TO BRING SECURITY TO NEW JERSEY'S SKIES APPROVED

TRENTON - A bill sponsored by Senators Nicholas J. Sacco and Joseph V. Doria which would require additional verification of a prospective pilot's identity before he or she can rent an airplane was unanimously approved today by the Senate Transportation Committee.

"With the multitude of safety concerns surrounding airplanes, it only makes sense to take every precaution possible before we let someone get into the coc.kpit," said Senator Sacco, D-Hudson and Bergen, the Chairman of the Transportation Committee. "The security lapses and potential for pilot license fraud brought to light by the attacks on September 11 make it essential that a redundant photo ID be checked before renting any aircraft."

The bill, S-1738, would require that any person or business that provides aircraft for rental in New Jersey must check the information on an individual's pilot certificate or license against another government-issued form of photo identification, such as a State driver's license or passport. Under current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, pilots' certificates and licenses do not contain a photo of the licensee.

"The FAA has talked about changing their regulations to ensure more security in pilots' licenses, but until that happens, there's a big hole that we cannot ignore in our State's safety net," said Senator Doria, D-Hudson. "In my legislative district, we're right across the river from Manhattan, where on September 11, 2001, we saw the worst attack on American soil ever, and the attackers used airplanes. If we're going to be on guard about anything, we have to be very careful about just who has access to airplanes, and we need tight security regarding airplane rentals."

The bill also requires that a copy of the photo identification be made and kept on file by the aircraft provider. Amendments to the bill, approved in committee today, require that the information be kept on file for five years. Originally, the period of time that the information had to be kept was to be determined by the Commissioner of Transportation.

"Having a record of who's in our skies is necessary to establish patterns of behavior for suspicious individuals," said Senator Doria. "Keeping identifying information on file could possibly help law enforcement in determining a homeland security risk before it becomes a homeland security tragedy."

The bill now heads to the full Senate for consideration. An identical bill is pending a vote in the full Assembly.
