A bill to amend 1960 PA 124, entitled “An act to create the Michigan highway reciprocity board; to prescribe its powers and duties; to provide for the powers and duties of certain state and local governmental officers and entities; to allow certain reciprocal compacts, agreements, and arrangements; and to repeal certain acts and parts of acts,” by amending section 3 (MCL 3.163), as amended by 2022 PA 25.
House Bills 5378 and 5379 would amend the Motor Carrier Fuel Tax Act and 1960 PA 124, respectively, to authorize the Department of Treasury to negotiate a fuel tax reciprocity agreement with another state that allows commercial motor vehicles of either state that are transporting raw forest products (e.g., logs, pulpwood, Christmas trees, etc.) to a sawmill or factory to be operated within up to 50 air miles on either side of the states’ shared border without being subject to certain fuel tax credentialing, reporting, and payment requirements that might otherwise apply (having paid applicable fuel taxes and fees to one of the two states). Michigan and Wisconsin currently have such an agreement in place that applies within 30 air miles of the border. The bills would authorize the Department of Treasury to negotiate an amendment to extend the applicable distance to no more than 50 air miles.
