2015 House Bill 4335

Increase gas tax, exempt fuel from sales tax

Introduced in the House

March 10, 2015

Introduced by Rep. Gary Glenn (R-98)

To phase out charging the 6 percent sales tax on gasoline and diesel motor fuel sales over six years. House Bill 4336 would gradually increase the motor fuel tax by an equivalent amount. Sales tax revenue is mostly earmarked to schools, and to local governments revenue sharing. The bill requires the legislature to appropriate at least as much as the previous year to both those areas, using revenue from other taxes. If it does not, then the 6 percent sales tax would automatically be imposed on fuel sales again.

Referred to the Committee on Government Operations
