Summary

The bill imposes a $50‑per‑seat or $200‑per‑flight noise tax on helicopter and seaplane trips that are not essential and operate within New York cities with at least one million people. It targets the operators of those flights, but exempts essential services and aircraft that meet newly defined quiet‑aircraft standards, and requires quarterly tax filings.
