Bill > HB05029

This bill proposes to eliminate the highway use tax by amending section 12-493a of the general statutes. The highway use tax is typically a fee charged to commercial motor vehicles based on their weight, miles traveled, or other usage metrics, and is often used to fund transportation infrastructure maintenance and improvements. By removing this tax, the legislation would no longer require commercial vehicle operators to pay this specific tax, which could potentially reduce operating costs for trucking and transportation businesses. While the bill provides minimal detail, its straightforward purpose is to completely remove the existing highway use tax provision from current state law.
