An act to amend 1980 PA 119, entitled “An act to prescribe a privilege tax for the use of public roads and highways of this state by motor carriers by imposing a specific tax upon the use of motor fuel within this state; to provide for certain credits against this tax and certain mechanisms for paying, collecting, and enforcing this tax; to provide for the licensing of motor carriers and for exemptions from licensure; to require the keeping and providing for the examination of certain reports; to provide review procedures for the assessment of the tax and revocation of a license; to impose certain duties upon and confer certain powers to certain state departments and agencies; to prescribe certain penalties for the violation of this act; and to make appropriations,” by amending section 1 (MCL 207.211), as amended by 2015 PA 178.
House Bill No. 5747 aims to amend the Motor Carrier Fuel Tax Act (1980 PA 119) by updating and clarifying definitions related to the motor carrier industry and alternative fuels. Key definitions revised include "alternative fuel," "motor carrier," and "qualified commercial motor vehicle," among others. The bill specifies exclusions for certain vehicles like recreational and farm vehicles, school buses, and public transit buses. It also addresses the jurisdiction of governmental and transportation authorities over their service areas and includes provisions for vehicles used in farming with out-of-state plates. The bill's enactment is tied to the passage of House Bill No. 5379 of the 102nd Legislature.
