What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill increases the motor vehicle fuel tax rate by five cents per gallon and

uses the additional tax revenue from that increase to make payments on the debt

service on contingent funding of major highway and rehabilitation projects. The bill

also requires the Department of Revenue to annually adjust the rate to reflect

changes in the consumer price index.
