Summary
Authorizes motor fuel tax rate changes based on certain DoT expenditures.
Issue
Currently, the Department of Transportation must provide a report each year to the Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
This bill requires DOT to include a summary of it's internal and external expenditures in the report. For each fiscal year that the Department's internal expenditures exceed 20% of its total expenditures, requires that the Motor Fuel Tax be reduced by one-half cent per gallon the following fiscal year, but the tax may not be reduced more than $.03 per gallon below the rate as of August 28, 2026. In any fiscal year following a rate reduction, if the Department's internal expenditures are less than 20% of its total expenditures, the Motor Fuel Tax will be increased by one-half cent per gallon or up to the total rate as of August 28, 2026, whichever is less, in the following fiscal year.
Notes
Pending committee assignment.
