Introduced
by
To replace the current 19-cent per gallon gas tax and 15-cent diesel tax with a 6 percent wholesale fuel tax. The tax could only rise by 5 percent per year even if the price of fuel rose faster, but if the price of fuel fell the rate could be increased to prevent any reduction in tax revenue compared to the 2014 level.

To accept the substitute version of the bill that was finally adopted by the Senate on Nov. 13.
The substitute passed 18 to 14 (details)
Passed in the Senate 23 to 14 (details)
To replace the current 19-cent per gallon gas tax and 15-cent diesel tax with a 9.5 percent wholesale fuel tax, gradually increasing to 15.5 percent in 2018. When fully phased-in this would represent a tax hike of around $1.2 billion at current wholesale fuel prices, more than doubling current fuel taxes to 41 cents per gallon.
Substitute offered
by
To adopt a version of the bill that would convert the gas tax a 19 cent per gallon levy to a 13.5 percent imposition on the wholesale price of fuel, which would be an increase of around 20 cents per gallon at current prices. However, this is linked to House Bill 4539, which exempts fuel from the 6 percent state sales tax, making the package revenue neutral, with no net tax increase.

To revise timing details of the bill.
The amendment passed by voice vote
Amendment offered
by
To tie-bar the bill to House Bill 4539 and 5460, meaning this bill cannot become law unless those ones do also. HB 4539 would no longer impose the 6 percent sales tax on gas and diesel motor fuel sales, HB 5460 would require local road agencies to get warranties from contractors for road construction and preservation projects.
The amendment passed by voice vote
Passed in the House 58 to 51 (details)
To replace the current 19-cent per gallon gas tax and 15-cent diesel tax with a 7.5 percent wholesale fuel tax, gradually increasing to 13.5 percent over six years. When fully phased-in this would represent a tax hike of around 20 cents per gallon current wholesale fuel prices. See also House Bill 4539, which would phase out the state sales tax on fuel sales over the same period, resulting in no net tax increase. This bill is not "tie barred" to that one however, meaning it does not have to go into effect for this one to.
Failed in the Senate 7 to 30 (details)
To concur with the House-passed version of the bill. The vote sends the measure to a House-Senate conference committee to work out the differences.
Received
Passed in the Senate 23 to 15 (details)
To increase the current 19-cent per gallon gas tax to 41.7 cents, and the 15-cent diesel tax to 46.4 cents, and index these taxes to inflation. This would be partially offset by exempting fuel sales from the state sales tax (House Bill 4539). However, neither bill will go into law unless voters approve House Joint Resolution UU in a May 5, 2015 vote, which would increase the state sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent. When combined with other tax hike bills in the package it represents a net tax increase of around $2 billion.
Passed in the House 93 to 17 (details)
