Bill > H582

This bill amends North Carolina's motor fuel tax refund law to expand the list of nonprofit organizations eligible for quarterly fuel tax refunds. Specifically, the bill adds a new category of nonprofit organizations that transport food for free distribution to residents of the state to the existing list of qualifying nonprofits. Under current law, organizations like volunteer fire departments, volunteer rescue squads, and nonprofits that transport passengers under local government contracts can receive a quarterly tax refund for motor fuel purchases. The new provision will allow food-distributing nonprofits to also receive a refund at a rate equal to the state's motor fuel tax rate, minus one cent per gallon. The bill would become effective immediately upon becoming law, providing financial relief to nonprofit organizations engaged in food distribution by reducing their fuel expenses.
