Bill > SB00114

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 levied on commercial vehicles or trucks based on their weight or miles traveled, used to help fund transportation infrastructure and road maintenance. By removing this tax completely, the bill would end the current requirement for certain vehicle owners or operators to pay this specific tax, potentially reducing financial burden on trucking and transportation businesses. While the bill text is extremely brief, its purpose appears to be a straightforward removal of an existing tax provision without providing detailed replacement mechanisms or explanations of the tax's current structure or the potential fiscal impacts of its elimination.
