Bill > HF191

This bill proposes to abolish motor fuel taxes in Minnesota and make corresponding changes to various related statutes. The bill involves multiple sections that systematically remove references to motor vehicle fuel taxes, tax collection, and associated reporting requirements. Key provisions include removing language about gasoline and special fuel tax rates, eliminating sections related to tax collection and refunds, and modifying existing statutes to remove tax-related terminology. The bill also includes provisions to transfer significant funds from the general fund to the highway user tax distribution fund ($911,485,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $905,105,000 in fiscal year 2027), effectively replacing the revenue previously generated by motor fuel taxes. Additionally, the bill repeals numerous sections of Minnesota Statutes related to motor fuel taxation, signaling a comprehensive overhaul of how transportation-related revenues will be managed in the state. The changes appear to be part of a broader effort to restructure how transportation infrastructure is funded, moving away from a traditional fuel tax model.
