HB 2490 appropriates $2 million dollars from the state aviation fund to the Department of Transportation to be used for grants to small community air service and airport upgrades to those communities in this state that are receiving federal monies for small community air service development.
HB 2490 was amended in the Military, Veterans’ Affairs & Aviation Committee to allow the monies appropriated, for the purpose of matching federal monies, to revert to the state aviation fund if the federal monies are not provided. It was further amended to change the amount of the appropriation from $2 million to $750,000.
HB 2490 was amended in the Appropriations Committee to remove the appropriation and establish a special account with monies from the vehicle license tax which are currently dedicated to the Economic Strength Project Fund. It also allows the Department of Transportation to expend up to $500,000 of the monies in the special account for the purpose of providing grants for small community airports and air upgrades in communities who receive the federal funding. HB 2490 passed the Committee of the Whole as amended in the Appropriations Committee and the Military, Veterans’ Affairs & Aviation Committee amendment was withdrawn. On Third Read SB 1372 was substituted for HB 2490.
In 2001, the federal government appropriated $22 million dollars, to 40 cities in 13 states, to be used for air service development in small communities. Upon disbursement of this money, the state(s) will be required to have a 10% match. The specific states and the amount appropriated to each state have yet to be determined.
