The bill amends the General Sales Tax Act of 1933 by updating Section 25 to include new provisions regarding the distribution of sales tax revenues. Notably, it mandates that beginning with the 2025-2026 fiscal year, $115 million from the 4% sales tax collections must be deposited into the newly established public safety and violence prevention fund. Additionally, the bill specifies that for the fiscal year ending September 30, the amount deposited into the comprehensive transportation fund will be reduced by $18 million, which will instead be allocated to the transportation administration collection fund.

The bill also makes several adjustments to the existing distribution of sales tax revenues, including the reconciliation process for funds distributed to qualified airports and the stipulation that the balance in the state general fund can only be disbursed through legislative appropriations. Other provisions clarify the definitions of terms related to aviation fuel and various funds, ensuring that the revenue collected is appropriately allocated to support transportation, education, and public safety initiatives.
