Bill > HB2393

This bill establishes tax exemptions for unleaded aircraft fuel in Washington state. The key provisions are: 1. Defining "unleaded aircraft fuel" as specialized 100 octane fuel used to power piston engine aircraft that does not contain tetraethyllead. 2. Exempting unleaded aircraft fuel from the state's sales tax, use tax, and hazardous substance tax. 3. Establishing a tax preference performance statement with the goal of incentivizing the adoption and availability of unleaded aircraft fuel to facilitate the phaseout of leaded aircraft fuel in the state. 4. Providing that the tax exemptions will expire on January 1, 2031, unless the legislature extends them based on a review of progress towards the policy objectives. The bill aims to support the federal initiative to eliminate lead emissions from aircraft engines by making unleaded fuel alternatives more accessible and affordable for the aviation community in Washington.
