2011 Senate Bill 714

Replace diesel and gas tax with higher sales tax

Introduced in the Senate

Oct. 4, 2011

Introduced by Sen. Howard Walker (R-37)

To repeal the state motor fuel carrier tax (diesel tax), and replace it with a 1 percent sales tax increase that would be earmarked to roads. This bill is the repealer, and cannot become law unless Senate Joint Resolution N also does, which contains the sales tax hike, and would require a vote of the people.

Referred to the Committee on Finance
