Assembly Bill 1455 by Assemblymember Freddie Rodriguez and Assemblymember Jimmy Gomez of Los Angeles was approved by the State Assembly today with bipartisan support. The bill lays the groundwork for the transfer of the Ontario International Airport from Los Angeles World Airports to the City of Ontario.
“This bill is the result of members representing the Inland Empire and Los Angeles working together to come to a solution,” said Rodriguez. “We are hopeful that this bill will move the negotiation process forward and bring about the timely transfer of the airport.”
“A solution can be reached only through an approach that respects both interests. The introduction of this legislation is to be a vehicle for a mutually acceptable agreement on Ontario Airport,” said Assemblymember Gomez.
“Assemblymember Gomez and I will continue to work with all parties involved in the negotiations to restore local control of our airport. We are hopeful that an equitable agreement can be reached in a timely fashion” said Rodriguez.
