2013 House Bill 4359

Increase fuel taxes

Introduced in the House

Feb. 28, 2013

Introduced by Rep. Wayne Schmidt (R-104)

To increase the current 19 cents per gallon for gasoline and 15 cents for diesel by instead levying 12 percent on the wholesale price of fuel. At a pump price of $3.50 for gasoline this would be a tax of around 35 cents per gallon, a 16 cent per gallon increase. The actual percentage rate would be adjusted by the state on a quarterly basis.

Referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
