Bill > HB05081

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 imposed on commercial vehicles or trucking companies based on the weight or miles driven on state highways, which generates revenue to support road maintenance and infrastructure. By removing this tax, the bill would effectively end this specific form of taxation, potentially reducing financial burden on trucking and transportation businesses but also potentially reducing funds available for highway maintenance and improvements. The bill is straightforward in its approach, with no complex language modifications, simply aiming to strike the existing highway use tax provision from state law.
