Passed in the House 91 to 18 (details)
To earmark 1.0 percent of the revenue from the 6.0 percent state use tax to road projects (meaning one-sixth of the revenue from this tax would go to roads). See also House Bill 5459. Reportedly this would generate around $250 million annually for roads. This is one of several bills in a House road funding package that together would increase road funding by around $500 million annually, with most of the money from repurposing current tax revenue, and a relatively small amount from increased taxes and fees.
Referred to the Committee on Infrastructure Modernization
Passed in the Senate 24 to 14 (details)
To exempt fuel sales from the state "use tax," and revise revenue distributions to incorporate a proposed increase of the state use tax from 6 percent to 7 seven percent. This is part of a package that represents a net tax increase of $1.945 billion, of which $1.2 billion would go to road repairs and the rest to other spending, but which is contingent on voters approving an increase in the state use and sales taxes from 6 percent to 7 percent in a May 5 election. See also House Bill 5477.
Passed in the House 88 to 22 (details)
