Restoring Local Control of Airports Act of 2016
This bill reauthorizes through FY2021 and revises the Airport Improvement Program. Specifically, the bill: (1) eliminates the federal cap on passenger facility charges (local user fees) of $4.50 per enplanement; and (2) with respect to airports that increase such charges beyond $4.50 per enplanement, provides for corresponding reductions in program grant funding.
In addition, the bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to reduce the federal airline ticket tax.
