Bill > HB1730

This bill modifies state law to direct the proceeds from certain taxes on aircraft fuel to be deposited into the aeronautics account. Specifically, the bill amends several existing tax statutes to ensure that taxes collected on aircraft fuel from multiple sources—including taxes on hazardous substances, oil spill response and administration taxes, and petroleum product possession taxes—will now be routed to the aeronautics account instead of other state accounts. The changes apply to aircraft fuel as defined in RCW 82.42.010, which typically refers to fuel used in aircraft. This redirection of funds will provide additional dedicated funding to the state's aeronautics account, which supports aviation-related activities and infrastructure. The bill makes technical changes to tax code language, such as standardizing numeric representations (e.g., changing "seven-tenths of one" to "0.7") and updating deposit instructions for various tax revenues. The modifications ensure a more consistent and transparent approach to handling tax revenues specifically related to aircraft fuel across different tax categories.
