S 90 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Excludes passenger and freight rail projects from purposes for which revenue from increase in petroleum products gross receipts tax revenue may be used.

This bill amends New Jersey's transportation funding law to specifically exclude passenger and freight rail projects from using revenue generated by increases in the petroleum products gross receipts tax (established by P.L.2016, c.57). It prevents state funds from this tax source from being allocated to any rail-related transportation projects, including passenger rail service or freight rail service. The change directly affects rail project funding by restricting the use of this specific tax revenue stream. The amendment is part of a broader update to the Special Transportation Fund rules, ensuring rail projects cannot access this particular tax revenue.
