Urging federal support for the state's aviation fuel transition.

This House Joint Resolution asks the federal government to extend Alaska's exemption from a 2030 ban on leaded aviation fuel until 2034. The bill argues that remote Alaskan communities rely heavily on piston-driven aircraft for essential services like food delivery and emergency medical care, and that a sudden fuel switch could disrupt these lifelines. It highlights concerns that replacing aircraft engines and parts to meet new fuel standards would be too costly and time-consuming for the state's aviation sector. The resolution directs copies to Alaska's U.S. Senators and Representative to advocate for this extension during federal aviation legislation.
