Directing the deposit of the proceeds from taxes on aircraft fuel to the aeronautics account.
HB 2592 directs that taxes collected on aircraft fuel must be deposited directly into the state's aeronautics account, rather than other designated funds. This bill specifically amends Washington’s tax code (RCW 82.21.030) to redirect proceeds from the aircraft fuel tax - defined under RCW 82.42.010 - to the aeronautics account, as established in RCW 82.42.090. The policy change affects entities purchasing or selling aircraft fuel within Washington, ensuring these tax revenues fund aviation-related programs. It does not alter the tax rate or create new taxes, only specifies where existing aircraft fuel tax revenue is allocated. This is a technical adjustment to existing tax code, not a new funding mechanism.
