To remove the state tax on gasoline at the pumps

HB 4885 would repeal West Virginia's state excise tax on gasoline, which is currently added to prices at the pump. The bill removes this tax by repealing the existing law (§11-14C-5) that imposed the motor fuel excise tax. This change would eliminate the state tax component from gasoline prices, directly affecting both consumers (who would no longer pay this tax) and retailers (who would no longer collect and remit it). The bill is pending in the House Finance Committee.
