Some cities could use local sales taxes for airports without certain federal restrictions.
This bill would create exceptions to federal rules about how airport money is used. It would allow certain local governments to use their general sales tax money for airports without following some federal restrictions. This applies only if the city meets specific conditions, such as having a very large airport and a long-standing sales tax.
Today, federal law generally requires airports and local governments to follow specific rules for how airport revenues, including local sales taxes, are used. This includes giving written promises and restrictions on spending. After this bill, certain local governments would be exempt from these federal rules for their general sales tax revenues used for airport purposes. To qualify, they must meet strict conditions, such as having a long-standing sales tax, not sponsoring the airport, and hosting a very large airport.
