Bill > HB05027

This bill proposes to eliminate the highway use tax by amending section 12-493a of the general statutes. While the specific details of the highway use tax are not provided in the bill text, such taxes are typically levied on commercial vehicles based on their weight or usage of highways. By removing this tax, the bill would end the requirement for certain vehicle owners, likely trucking companies or commercial vehicle operators, to pay this specific tax. The elimination of the tax could potentially reduce operating costs for businesses that rely on highway transportation and remove an administrative burden associated with tax collection. The bill is straightforward in its intent, simply seeking to strike the existing highway use tax provision from the state's statutes.
