Implements a 1-year motor fuel tax reduction

HB 1397, titled "Implements a 1-year motor fuel tax reduction," actually establishes a phased tax increase on various fuels rather than a reduction. The bill sets specific tax rates per gallon or equivalent (e.g., 5-17 cents for gasoline, propane, and natural gas) with scheduled increases over time, including temporary rates for compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), and propane through 2025. It applies to all motor fuel consumers in the state, including those using alternative fuels, and requires tax collection through existing state motor fuel tax mechanisms. The bill was introduced in February 2025 but withdrawn the same month and never advanced.
