Introduced

To replace the current 19-cent per gallon gas tax and 15-cent diesel tax with an 8.5 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 based on current wholesale fuel prices. See also House Bill 4335, which would phase out the state sales tax on fuel sales over the same period, which means the two bills combined would result in no net tax increase. This bill is "tie barred" to that one, meaning it won’t go into effect unless the sales tax change does also.
Referred to the Committee on Government Operations
