Bill > HB190

This bill introduces a new tax of $3.50 for each motor vehicle charged at an alternative-fuel fueling station in Mississippi. An alternative-fuel fueling station is defined as a metered, public access recharging system for electric vehicles, excluding the building or structural components. The bill specifies that the station owner or operator must collect the tax at the time of vehicle charging and remit the proceeds to the Department of Revenue. The revenue collected will be apportioned among various purposes specified for gasoline and diesel fuel taxes in the same proportion as those taxes were distributed in the previous fiscal year. The Department of Revenue is granted the authority to create and implement rules and regulations for administering this tax. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and uses the same definition of "motor vehicle" as found in Section 27-19-3 of Mississippi state law. This legislation aims to generate additional revenue from electric vehicle charging while maintaining a similar distribution method to existing fuel tax allocations.
