Bill > S1590

This bill expands the definition of "qualified higher education expenses" in the Internal Revenue Code to include costs associated with aviation maintenance and commercial pilot training programs. Specifically, the bill allows funds from qualified tuition programs (often known as 529 plans, which are typically used for college savings) to be used for tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment for aviation-related educational courses. A "qualified aviation maintenance course" is defined as an instruction program at a school governed by specific federal aviation regulations, while a "qualified commercial pilot course" refers to flight training programs that meet certain Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification standards. This change would make it easier for individuals to use education savings to fund professional training in aviation maintenance and commercial piloting, potentially helping to address workforce development needs in the aviation industry by making such training more financially accessible.
