Imposes a road use fee on battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles based on the number of miles the vehicle is driven in a year. A person registering an electric vehicle is required to complete at the same time a form stating the mileage of the electric vehicle and submit the form to the municipality in which the electric vehicle is registered. The Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Bureau of Revenue Services is required, based on the mileage accumulated by that electric vehicle during the prior registration period, to assess the person registering that electric vehicle a fee, which for battery electric vehicles is 1.0� per mile and for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles is 0.5� per mile. The per mile rate is tied to the gasoline tax rate imposed on internal combustion engine fuel of 30.0� per gallon; if that rate changes, the per mile electric vehicle rate also changes. Revenue collected from the electric vehicle road use fee is used to temporarily suspend the gasoline tax for the number of days equivalent to a ratio of fees to total gasoline tax revenue. The Governor is required to determine and announce the dates of the suspension.

Pending Committee action.
