2015 House Bill 4615 ↩
House Roll Call 287:
Failed
To concur with the Senate-passed version of the bill. The vote sends the measure to a House-Senate conference committee to work out the differences<br>. This committee of three members each from the House and Senate is charged with crafting a compromise between different road funding bills passed by each body. The Senate version increases the 19 cent gas tax and 15 cent diesel tax to 34 cents per gallon. The House version only increases the diesel tax, by 4 cents per gallon. Both bodies propose earmarking a portion of state income tax collections to road repairs. The House version compensate for the funding shift by spending less on corporate welfare and social welfare programs.
