Proposing a constitutional amendment prohibiting the imposition of a vehicle mileage tax or fee.

HJR 164 proposes a constitutional amendment that would prohibit Texas from imposing a tax or fee on drivers based on the number of miles they travel in a vehicle. If approved by voters, this amendment would directly affect all Texas drivers by preventing the state legislature from creating a mileage-based tax system. The bill adds a new section to the Texas Constitution (Article VIII, Section 31) explicitly banning such taxes, requiring voter approval for any future attempt to implement them. The amendment must be submitted to voters in the November 4, 2025 election, with the ballot phrased as "prohibiting the imposition of a vehicle mileage tax or fee."
