HB 1639 -- Aviation Trust Fund

Sponsor:  Bruns

This bill removes the $6 million cap on the Aviation Trust Fund
and specifies that if $6 million is deposited into the fund in
the previous calendar year, $2 million may be expended annually
to study or promote expanded or intrastate scheduled commercial
service or to assist airport sponsors participating in a
federally funded air service program supporting intrastate
scheduled commercial service.

The bill also allows up to $500,000 in the fund to be used
annually to meet the local match requirement under a federal
cost-sharing program for air traffic control towers.  Any
expenditure under this program will require a nonfederal match,
with a ratio of 50% state and 50% local funds.  Expenditures on
any individual control tower will be capped at $100,000 per year.
