HF 2183: Crediting excise taxes imposed upon the sale of aircraft to the aviation fund

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill credits excise taxes (use taxes) imposed upon the sale of aircraft to the state aviation fund. Currently, the use tax is imposed at a rate of percent upon the sale of aircraft subject to registration under Code section 328.20, if the aircraft is purchased for use in this state. The bill changes the deposit of the use taxes from the sale of such aircraft from the general fund of the state to the state aviation fund. Moneys in the state aviation fund are for use by the department of transportation for airport engineering studies, construction or improvements, and the windsock program for public airports and marketing at commercial service airports.
