An act to amend 2000 PA 403, entitled “An act to prescribe a tax on the sale and use of certain types of fuel in motor vehicles on the public roads or highways of this state and on certain other types of gas; to prescribe the manner and the time of collection and payment of this tax and the duties of officials and others pertaining to the payment and collection of this tax; to provide for the licensing of persons involved in the sale, use, or transportation of motor fuel and the collection and payment of the tax imposed by this act; to prescribe fees; to prescribe certain other powers and duties of certain state agencies and other persons; to provide for exemptions and refunds and for the disposition of the proceeds of this tax; to provide for appropriations from the proceeds of this tax; to prescribe remedies and penalties for the violation of this act; and to repeal acts and parts of acts,” by amending section 8 (MCL 207.1008), as amended by 2015 PA 176.
House Bills 4180-87 and House Bill 4230 replace the sales tax levied on fuel purchase with a 20 cent per-gallon tax on fuel. The bills eliminate the earmark from corporate income taxes to selective business subsidy programs and allocates the revenue from the tax to transportation funding. Overall, the package is a 73% increase in state spending on roads, allocating $3.2 billion more to this effort.
