For purposes of this section, a “multijurisdictional airport” is an airport that is owned or operated by a city, county, or city and county that meets both of the following conditions:

(1) The owning or operating city, county, or city and county imposes a local sales tax pursuant to an ordinance adopted pursuant to this part.

(2) The owning or operating city, county, or city or county is different from the city, county, or city and county in which the airport is located.

(b)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the sales taxes collected by the board pursuant to this part with respect to retail sales of jet fuel described in subdivision (a) shall be transmitted by the board in accordance with the following:

(A) One-half to the county or city and county in which the point of delivery to the aircraft is located, less the amount transmitted to a city pursuant to subparagraph (B), if any; and one-half to the county or city and county that owns or operates the airport or to the county in which the city that owns or operates the airport is located, less the amount transmitted to a city pursuant to subparagraph (C), if any.

(B) If the multijurisdictional airport is located in a city imposing a local sales tax pursuant to an ordinance adopted pursuant to this part, the board shall transmit to that city that amount of sales taxes collected by the board with respect to retail sales of fuel described in subdivision (a) that is based on 50 percent of the rate set by that city's ordinance.

(C) If the multijurisdictional airport is owned or operated by a city imposing a local sales tax pursuant to an ordinance adopted pursuant to this part, the board shall transmit to that city that amount of sales taxes collected by the board with respect to retail sales of fuel described in subdivision (a) that is based on 50 percent of the rate set by that city's ordinance.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), both of the following shall apply:

(A) In the case of retail sales of jet fuel as described in subdivision (a) that are consummated at San Francisco International Airport, one-half of the sales taxes collected by the board pursuant to this part with respect to those sales shall be transmitted by the board to the City and County of San Francisco, and one-half of the sales taxes collected by the board pursuant to this part with respect to those sales shall be transmitted by the board to the County of San Mateo.

(B) In the case of retail sales of jet fuel as described in subdivision (a) that are consummated at Ontario International Airport, the board shall transmit sales taxes collected by the board pursuant to this part with respect to those sales in accordance with both of the following:

(i) All of the sales taxes that are derived from a local sales tax rate imposed by the City of Ontario shall be transmitted to that city.
