SB1636 is a bill that proposes to amend the definition of "jet fuel" in the context of the jet fuel excise and use tax in Arizona. The current definition includes crude oil or any fraction of crude oil that is liquid at specific conditions, as well as petroleum-based substances that are manufactured and blended for operating jet or turbine-powered aircraft. The bill seeks to expand this definition to also include aviation turbine fuel consisting of conventional and synthetic blending components that can be used without modifying aircraft engines and existing fuel distribution infrastructure. Additionally, it includes jet fuels derived from coprocessed feedstocks at a conventional petroleum refinery. The bill would apply to taxable periods beginning after the first day of the month following its general effective date.
