What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill creates an income and franchise tax credit for the production of sustainable aviation. “Sustainable aviation fuel” is aviation fuel of which at least 90 percent of the aviation fuel is derived from synthetic, renewable, and nonpetroleum sources. Beginning in tax year 2028, the credit is equal to $1.50 for each gallon of sustainable aviation fuel produced by a claimant in this state during a taxable year. For a sustainable aviation fuel derived from energy crops to be eligible for the credit, the energy crops used to produce the sustainable aviation fuel must be grown within the United States.
