3. Coordinate efforts of various governmental units and private parties
interested in the promotion of space-related industry.
4. Develop a business plan to promote and facilitate spaceport-related
educational and commercial development and to stimulate and improve aerospace
science, design, technology, and research.
5. Annually report to the governor and legislature WAA's activities, receipts,
expenditures, and financial condition; annually submit to the Department of
Administration (DOA), for each fiscal year in which the authority receives operating
revenues, an audited financial statement including detailed identification of funding
sources; and submit once to DOA, and as DOA requests thereafter, a business plan,
including proposed funding sources for capital expenditures by WAA, and estimate
of costs and funding for design, development, and operation of initially planned
spaceports, aerospace facilities, and spacecraft.
The substitute amendment authorizes WAA to issue bonds to carry out its
functions if WAA submits a bond resolution to the governor and legislature and the
legislature's Joint Committee on Finance does not schedule a meeting within 14 days
on the bond resolution or schedules such a meeting and approves the bond resolution.
WAA's bonds are not state debt. The substitute amendment authorizes WAA to have
no more than $100,000,000 in outstanding bonds at any one time. The substitute
amendment creates an individual and corporate income tax exemption for interest
on bonds issued by WAA.
The substitute amendment creates state, federal, and local appropriations for
the Department of Transportation (DOT) from the transportation fund for funding
for WAA, but does not directly provide any funds. Under the substitute amendment,
any project to acquire, construct, or improve a spaceport or spaceport facility, other
than a hangar, must be funded from these DOT appropriations and from WAA's own

funds. DOT and WAA must share the cost of the project, except that DOT's share of
costs is limited to a maximum of $10,000,000 per project and is limited to 80 percent
of the total project cost if federal aid is not available for the project or 50 percent of
the total project cost in excess of federal aid if federal aid is available for the project.
For each project, DOT determines the percentage of costs borne by DOT based on the
relative importance of the project to any state spaceport development program as a
whole.
Because WAA is not a state agency, numerous laws that apply to state agencies
do not apply to WAA. However, as with many state-created authorities, WAA is
treated like a state agency in the following respects, among others: 1) it is generally
subject to the open records and open meetings laws; 2) it is treated like a state agency
for purposes of the law regulating lobbying; 3) its employees may participate in the
system for state retirement benefits and health insurance coverage; 4) it is exempt
from sales and use taxes, property taxes, and income taxes; 5) its employees are
subject to laws prohibiting political activities by state employees while engaged in
official duties; 6) it is subject to auditing by the Legislative Audit Bureau and to
access by the Legislative Fiscal Bureau; and 7) the Code of Ethics for Public Officials
and Employees covers WAA.
WAA is unlike a state agency in many other ways, including: 1) it approves its
own budget without going through the state budgetary process; 2) WAA employees
are not state employees, are not included in the state system of personnel
management, and are hired outside the state hiring system; 3) it is not subject to
statutory rule-making procedures, including requirements for legislative review of
proposed rules; 4) it keeps its operating fund in its own account outside of the state
treasury; and 5) the state is not liable for any debt, obligation, or act of WAA and WAA
expenses are paid from WAA's own funds.
The substitute amendment also expands certain provisions of law currently
applicable only to airports and aircraft to apply to spaceports and spacecraft as well.
These changes include: 1) treating aircraft and spacecraft similarly with regard to
certain aspects of civil and criminal liability; 2) recognizing the authority of a county
or municipality to establish, own, and operate a spaceport or spacecraft launch or
landing area in the same manner as a county or municipal airport, landing field, or
landing and take-off strip, including the right of condemnation and the right to
protect aerial approaches; and 3) expanding an existing loan program administered
by DOT to facilitate acquisition by local governments or airport owners of land for
airport projects to include spaceport projects as well, but with a maximum total
outstanding balance of loans for spaceport projects of $10,000,000 rather than the
$6,500,000 for airport projects and with a different funding source.
