APPLETON (NBC 26) -- Gov. Tony Evers signed Assembly Bill 611 at Appleton International Airport on Friday.

The bill is now 2019 Wisconsin Act 103. The governor’s office said it brings Wisconsin's laws in compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration's registry requirements.

“This bill will benefit Wisconsin's aviation community by enabling Wisconsin buyers and sellers to utilize the FAA's registry before a transaction, potentially preventing costly legal disputes over titles and ownership in the future,” said Gov. Evers.

According to the governor’s office, this new law establishes aircraft lien laws that conform with the FAA’s requirements by creating a separate lien process for aircraft and aircraft engines for any reasonable charges for services provided, such as repairing, storing or servicing.
