MOTOR FUEL-CPI ADJUSTMENT

SB 2359 stops a planned July 1, 2025 increase to Illinois' motor fuel tax that would have been triggered by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The bill directly affects fuel retailers and consumers by freezing this specific tax hike, which would have raised gas and diesel prices based on inflation. It amends the Motor Fuel Tax Law to explicitly state that the July 1, 2025 CPI-based adjustment "shall not occur," while leaving all other tax rates and provisions unchanged. The freeze applies only to the 2025 increase, not to current rates or future adjustments after that date.
