Relating to authorizing the increase or decrease of the rates of the gasoline and diesel fuel taxes based on the cost of certain highway projects.
HB 326 would authorize the state to adjust gasoline and diesel fuel tax rates up or down based on the costs of specific highway projects. If highway construction or maintenance expenses increase, the tax rate could rise to generate additional funding; if costs decrease, the rate could fall. This change would directly impact drivers and businesses that purchase fuel, as tax rates influence the price at the pump. The bill establishes a framework for linking tax adjustments to highway project costs without specifying exact calculation methods or project details.
