Summary

The bill taxes sales and use of jet fuel, keeping half of the revenue at the airport where the fuel is sold for its own improvements and sending the other half to the state Aeronautics Account. The state fund is then allocated by set percentages to general‑aviation airports, commercial hubs, grant programs for non‑hub airports, aviation education and other aviation purposes. It aims to boost airport infrastructure and job creation, especially in Kern County.
