Proposed Legislation
HB2682 - AVIATION FUEL TAX and AVIATION FUND
This bill would bring Illinois into compliance with recent federal laws that require tax revenue from aviation fuel to be spent on aviation related budget items. This bill establishes a state aviation fund that revenue from aviation taxes would be deposited in. This fund can be dispersed to municipalities for aviation related needs such as improving airports.
SB2093 - NORTHERN ILLINOIS AIRPORT AUTHORITY
Creates the Northern Illinois Airport Authority within Lake County with the primary purpose of continuing to maintain, develop, and operate the Waukegan National Airport and the Waukegan Marina and Harbor.
HB3201 - PROPERTY CONTROL-STATE PLANES
Provides that all airplanes and helicopters owned by the State, except those designated for emergency use, those used by the Illinois State Police, and those used by a public university as part of a course in aviation, are surplus property and must be sold by a competitive sealed bid method (now, a transferable airplane may be disposed of only if (i) it is no longer needed, (ii) it will not be used as a trade-in, and (iii) a public university or college offering aviation-related instruction or training has not listed its need for an airplane). Requires that the sale proceeds be deposited into the Education Assistance Fund. Effective immediately.
