The State and Local General Sales Tax Protection Act would overturn the FAA rulemaking of 2014 and re-establish 29 years of FAA interpretation by clarifying Congress’ original intent that general sales taxes are not subject to 49 U.S.C. Sections 47107(b)(1) and 47133(a), and that “local tax on aviation fuel” means local excise taxes on aviation fuel.Collection
