Bill Summary
For the purpose of reducing transportation costs, the bill repeals the following fees, effective July 1, 2025: ! The road usage fee imposed by the state and the bridge and tunnel impact fee imposed by the statewide bridge and tunnel enterprise that are imposed on the purchase of each gallon of taxed gasoline and special fuel; ! The fee imposed by the state on short-term motor vehicle rentals; ! The passenger per-ride fees imposed on car share rides by the state, the clean fleet enterprise, and the nonattainment area air pollution mitigation enterprise; and ! The waste tire enterprise fee imposed on the purchase of new motor vehicle and trailer tires by the waste tire management enterprise. Because this fee is the only source of revenue for the waste tire management enterprise, the bill also repeal the enterprise. The bill also requires the nonattainment area air pollution mitigation enterprise, no later than January 1, 2026, to establish a reformulated gasoline cost stabilization program to offer reformulated gasoline cost stabilization rebates to individuals who own motor vehicles that are registered in counties in which the federal government requires all gasoline sold to be reformulated gasoline.
AI Summary
This bill aims to reduce transportation costs in Colorado by repealing several existing fees and enterprises effective July 1, 2025. Specifically, the bill eliminates the road usage fee on gasoline and special fuel, the bridge and tunnel impact fee, the short-term vehicle rental fee, the clean fleet per ride fee, the air pollution mitigation per ride fee, and the waste tire enterprise fee. Along with these fee eliminations, the bill also dissolves the waste tire management enterprise. In a notable addition, the bill requires the nonattainment area air pollution mitigation enterprise to establish a reformulated gasoline cost stabilization program by January 1, 2026. This program will offer rebates to vehicle owners in counties required to use reformulated gasoline, with the enterprise dedicating at least 20% of its annual fee revenue (10% in the 2025-26 fiscal year) to the program. The rebate amount will be based on the price difference between reformulated and standard gasoline, and the available program funds. The bill represents a significant restructuring of transportation-related fees and enterprises in Colorado, with the primary goal of reducing costs for consumers and businesses.
