2013 Senate Bill 85

Replace diesel and gas tax with higher sales tax

Introduced in the Senate

Jan. 30, 2013

Introduced by Sen. John Pappageorge (R-13)

To repeal the state motor fuel carrier tax (diesel tax), and replace it with a 2 percent sales tax increase that (mostly) would be earmarked to roads. This bill is the repealer, and cannot become law unless Senate Joint Resolution J also does, which contains the sales tax hike, and would require a vote of the people.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
