SB 5898 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Directing the deposit of the proceeds from taxes on aircraft fuel to the aeronautics account.

SB 5898 directs that tax proceeds from aircraft fuel must be deposited into the state's aeronautics account (as defined in RCW 82.42.090), ensuring these funds support aviation-related programs and infrastructure. This bill does not change the tax rate or definition of aircraft fuel but modifies existing law to redirect these specific revenues. The change affects state budget allocations for aviation, with no impact on taxpayers or the tax calculation itself.
