Establishes the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Incentive Program. (BDR 44-1095)

AB 481 creates the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Incentive Program to provide financial incentives to U.S. domestic air carriers for purchasing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Nevada. The program offers $1.75 per gallon for SAF produced outside Nevada and $2.50 per gallon for SAF produced within Nevada, funded by a $10 million state appropriation. Air carriers must submit claims to the State Treasurer for verification before receiving payments. The program is administered through a new Sustainable Aviation Fuel Incentive Fund established in the state treasury.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to restrict the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Incentive Program to only purchase sustainable aviation fuel produced within Nevada, rather than allowing purchases of fuel produced outside the state. This change narrows the program's scope and eliminates the previous incentive tier for out-of-state fuel purchases.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed from incentivizing purchases of sustainable aviation fuel from any source to only incentivizing purchases of fuel produced within Nevada.
SCOPE

Changed the program purpose from providing incentives for purchase of sustainable aviation fuel generally to specifically requiring the fuel be produced in Nevada.

ELIGIBILITY

Removed the $1.75 per gallon incentive tier for sustainable aviation fuel produced outside Nevada, leaving only the $2.50 per gallon incentive for fuel produced in Nevada.

Modified eligibility requirements so domestic air carriers can only receive incentives for purchasing sustainable aviation fuel produced in Nevada.

TECHNICAL

Added a reference to a Nevada Supreme Court case regarding the gift clause to provide additional legal context for the appropriation.
