AI Summary

This bill establishes a local option gasoline and diesel fuel excise tax in Massachusetts. It allows any city or town to impose a local excise tax of up to 5 cents per gallon on the sale of fuel and special fuels to retail dealers within the city or town. The revenue from this tax must be deposited into a Municipal Fuel Excise Transportation and Stormwater Fund and can only be used for the maintenance, repair, and improvement of roads, bridges, sidewalks, and public transit, as well as for stormwater management. The bill also requires retail suppliers to report to the state the name and address of retail dealers, the number of gallons sold, and the selling price to the Commissioner of Revenue on a monthly basis.
