An Act amending the definition of 'motor fuel' under the state's              
motor fuel tax to add, as a part of the tax exemption set out in that          
definition, exemption from the tax for fuel sold for use in jet                
propulsion aircraft operating in flights that continue from foreign            
countries, subject to termination of the exemption for that fuel if            
a refiner operating a refinery at which the fuel was produced fails            
to comply with terms of a voluntary agreement entered into by the              
refiner to use Alaska residents, contractors, and suppliers to                 
provide goods and services when the refinery's capacity is                     
expanded, to add exemption from the tax for certain number 6                   
'residual fuel oil,' also known as bunker fuel, and to delete the

the imposition of a different tax levy on residual fuel oil used in

effective date.
