Bill Summary
Eliminates state taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel for motor vehicles.
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide tax relief to Hawaii residents by eliminating state taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel used in motor vehicles, acknowledging that current fuel taxes place a significant burden on working families and that the State Highway Fund, which relies on these taxes, is seeing declining revenue due to increased adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles. Specifically, the bill amends existing law to remove the state's portion of the fuel tax on gasoline and diesel oil, while allowing counties to continue levying their own fuel taxes. This change will take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026.
