SCS/SB 813 & 864 - This act allows the State Highways and Transportation Commission to provide financial assistance to owners of any privately owned airport designated as a reliever airport by the Federal Aviation Administration. This act would also permit funds for projects designated as emergencies to be made immediately available upon approval by the Missouri Department of Transportation.

Beginning September 1, 1998, the revenues from the sales and use tax on aviation jet fuel shall be deposited in the Aviation Trust Fund. The aviation assistance language in Section 17 of SB 1 of the 1997 extraordinary session is repealed.
