Relating to: applying the motor vehicle fuel tax supplier’s administrative allowance to diesel fuel, a motor vehicle fuel tax refund for evaporation losses, and making an appropriation. (FE)

SB 179 expands an existing tax credit for fuel suppliers to cover diesel fuel, creates a refund for fuel lost to evaporation during storage, and adds new rules for delayed tax payments. It requires fuel distributors to pay taxes electronically if delaying payments to suppliers and may mandate a bond equal to three times their monthly tax liability. The bill directly affects fuel suppliers and distributors handling motor vehicle fuel. It passed the legislature in June 2025 with a 19-13 vote.
