Bill > H3087

This bill proposes to amend Section 5 of Chapter 64E of the General Laws to establish a reimbursement program for cities and towns in the Commonwealth. Specifically, it mandates that any excise or tax on motor fuel paid by a city or town's department or agency to motor fuel suppliers within the Commonwealth will be reimbursed to that municipality on an annual basis. The Commissioner of Revenue will be responsible for creating rules and regulations to track fuel purchases, verify these purchases, and implement a timely annual reimbursement process for municipalities, which will be distributed through the "Cherry Sheets," a term referring to the official documents used for distributing state aid to cities and towns.
