SB 661: Airports: financial assistance.
What SB 661 does, verified August 25, 2026
The bill aims to provide financial assistance to airports in California. It would require 50% of the revenues from the state sales and use taxes on jet fuel to be transferred to the aeronautics account. This fund would then be allocated in specified percentages to qualifying general aviation airports, commercial airports, and for other aviation-related purposes. The remaining 50% of those revenues would be retained by the airport at which the jet fuel is sold and used, for purposes related to airport operations, capital improvements, maintenance, and infrastructure needs. This would effectively make an appropriation for airport funding.
