HB 5096 Connecticut House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT ELIMINATING THE HIGHWAY USE TAX.

HB 5096 eliminates the highway use tax by amending section 12-493a of the general statutes. This bill directly affects drivers and businesses that previously paid this tax on vehicle use or registration. The key mechanism is removing the tax provision from state law, ending the requirement to pay it. The change is purely procedural, with no new requirements or funding mechanisms.
