Bill > H3033

This bill proposes an amendment to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 64A, Section 12, which governs fuel taxation. Specifically, the bill introduces a temporary tax exemption for gasoline and diesel fuel sales to any public, private entity, or private person in the Commonwealth. The exemption would be in effect when the average price of unleaded gasoline, as calculated by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), is above one dollar per gallon. Once the average price drops below one dollar, the standard fuel tax would be reinstated. This provision appears designed to provide economic relief during periods of high fuel prices by temporarily suspending the fuel tax, which could help reduce the financial burden on consumers and businesses purchasing automotive fuel in Massachusetts.
