Bill > A00025

This bill proposes to completely repeal Article 21 of the tax law, which currently imposes a highway use tax on vehicles operating on public highways in the state of New York. The highway use tax is a fee that certain vehicle operators, typically commercial trucks or transportation companies, must pay for the privilege of using state roads. By eliminating this entire article of tax law, the bill would remove the legal requirement for these vehicles to pay this specific tax. The bill is straightforward in its approach, with Section 1 directly stating the repeal of Article 21, and Section 2 specifying that the act will take effect immediately upon enactment. This suggests that the tax would be eliminated as soon as the bill becomes law, providing an immediate change for affected vehicle operators.
