Temporary moratorium establishment on imposition of the motor fuels tax

This bill temporarily suspends Minnesota's motor fuels tax for a specific period in 2026, ranging from late May to early September. During this time, drivers and fuel distributors will not pay the usual taxes on gasoline, diesel, and natural gas, effectively reducing the cost of fuel for consumers and businesses. To compensate for the lost tax revenue, the state will use general funds to transfer money to the Department of Transportation for highway maintenance and other related programs. Additionally, the bill provides a one-time appropriation to cover the administrative costs of implementing this tax pause.
