LICENSE TO UTILIZE METAHUMAN ABILITIES (FLIGHT MODIFICATION) ACT OF 2014
SECTION 1: MODIFICATION TO THE LUMA ACT OF 2013
This Act may be cited as the "Flight Modification to the License to Utilize Metahuman Abilities Act of 2014."
SECTION 2: DEFINITION OF FLIGHT
(a) "Flight" is defined as the ability of an aviation-capable metahuman to engage in at least two of the three following traits: "sustained velocity", "directional control", and "hovering".
(b) "Sustained velocity" is defined as the ability to maintain velocity independently of initial momentum, differentiating from jumping, which relies on initial force.
(c) "Directional control" is defined as the ability to navigate and change directions mid-air, as opposed to a trajectory typical of jumping.
(d) "Hovering" is defined as the ability to remain stationary or near-stationary in the air.
SECTION 3: ADDITION OF FLIGHT-SPECIFIC REGULATIONS
(a) Flight Certification: Superhumans with flight capabilities must obtain a Flight Certification as an addendum to their LUMA.
(b) Flight Certification Requirements:
1. Proof of ability to safely takeoff, navigate, and land.
2. Understanding of air traffic control communication and compliance with flight regulations.
(c) Flight Zone Compliance: Flight-Certified Superhumans must adhere to existing designated flight zones and altitude restrictions.
SECTION 4: JUVENILE FLIGHT REGULATIONS
(a) Juvenile Flight Altitude Limitation: Juveniles with flight capabilities are limited to an altitude of 30 feet above the nearest horizontal surface below them, modifiable by local and municipal laws.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
(b) Flight Curfew for Juveniles: A federal flight curfew is established for juveniles, restricting flight times to the hours between 8 AM and 8 PM.
(c) License Suspension for Violations: Violation of flight regulations results in suspension of the JLUMA for a period of at least 30 days and up to a year.
(d) JLUMA Interview Requirement: Juveniles must demonstrate control of their flight abilities as part of the JLUMA interview process. Requirements for flight certification for Juveniles are the same as flight certification for adult superhumans.
SECTION 5: PENALTIES & ENFORCEMENT
(a) Uncertified Flight Violation: The unauthorized use of flight abilities in restricted zones, or operating such abilities in a careless or reckless manner, constitutes a misdemeanor. This offense is punishable by a fine ranging from $2,000 to $30,000. In cases of severe violations, characterized by extreme recklessness or resulting in significant danger to public safety, the offense may escalate to a criminal charge, subject to imprisonment for up to three years and fines ranging from $5,000 to $300,000.
(b) Unauthorized Flight Violation: Engaging in unauthorized flight within restricted zones constitutes a misdemeanor and results in the suspension of the offender's flight certification. The duration of the suspension ranges between 30 days and three years, depending on the severity of the violation.
(c) Flight Certification Violations: Entities employing flight-capable Superhumans without proper certification are subject to increased fines starting at $50,000.
SECTION 6: INTEGRATION WITH NATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM
(a) Air Traffic Management: The National Superhuman Response Agency (NSRA) shall collaborate with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to integrate flight-capable Superhumans into the National Airspace System.
(b) Emergency Protocols: Flight-Certified Superhumans are required to comply with emergency airspace restrictions and assist in national emergencies when requested by authorities.
SECTION 7: IMPLEMENTATION
(a) The modifications outlined in this Act shall be implemented within 180 days from its enactment.
