Motor Fuels tax indexed increases repealed.

HF 304 repeals the automatic annual increases to Minnesota's motor fuels excise taxes that were previously tied to the Minnesota Highway Construction Cost Index. The bill removes the requirement that gasoline, E85, M85, and other fuel tax rates adjust each August based on construction cost changes, meaning these taxes will no longer automatically rise each year. This directly affects fuel retailers and consumers by freezing the tax rates at current levels (e.g., 25 cents per gallon for standard gasoline) unless new legislation changes them. The change takes effect July 1, 2025, and applies to all motor fuels subject to the state's excise tax.
