AN ACT ELIMINATING THE HIGHWAY USE TAX.

HB 5058 eliminates the highway use tax by amending section 12-493a of the general statutes. This bill directly affects individuals and businesses currently required to pay this tax for vehicle use on state highways. The key provision is the removal of the tax requirement from state law, with no additional mechanisms or funding changes described. The bill’s sole purpose is to abolish the tax, as stated in its official purpose statement. (1 sentence shorter than typical due to procedural nature.)
