Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1945 PA 327, entitled"Aeronautics code of the state of Michigan,"by amending sections 34 and 203 (MCL 259.34 and 259.203), section 34 as amended by 2015 PA 259 and section 203 as amended by 2015 PA 260.
AI Summary
This bill amends Michigan's Aeronautics Code to increase the aviation fuel tax from 3 cents to 10 cents per gallon and modify how the collected tax revenue is distributed. Under the new provisions, the tax will be collected in the same manner as the motor fuel tax, with a 1.5-cent per gallon refund available for interstate airline operators. The tax revenue will now be split between two funds: 35% will go to the state aeronautics fund and 65% to the qualified airport fund. The bill maintains existing exemptions for aviation fuel used in formulating leaded racing fuel and requires fuel sellers to be registered with the state treasury. The bill is part of a package of related legislation and will only take effect if all of the companion bills in the specified list are also enacted into law. This change aims to provide more dedicated funding for aeronautics and airport infrastructure in Michigan by increasing the tax rate and creating a more structured revenue distribution system.
