Bill Summary
An Act to Modify the Excise Tax on Camper Trailers
AI Summary
This bill, effective January 1, 2026, modifies the excise tax on camper trailers by removing them from the existing tax structure based on the maker's list price and age, and instead establishes a new annual excise tax calculated solely on the overall length of the camper trailer, with specific tax amounts increasing for each foot of length. Additionally, the bill mandates an annual cost-of-living adjustment to these length-based tax amounts, beginning in 2026, using the Chained Consumer Price Index (a measure of inflation) to ensure the tax keeps pace with economic changes, and this adjustment will be applied to the tax amounts established for the preceding year if the calculated adjustment would be lower.
