Issue

Proposes amending Arizona Revised Statutes 28-5606 to revise how the state taxes motor fuel and use fuel, with a specific focus on alternative fuels and electricity. Under the bill, the existing per-gallon fuel tax structure would remain, but vehicles powered by alternative fuels or electricity would be subject to new annual charges or per-unit taxes designed to approximate the taxes paid by traditional gasoline and diesel vehicles.
