Bill Summary

Relative to exempting municipalities from the gas tax. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 64A of the General Laws, which deals with the excise tax on fuel. Specifically, it seeks to insert a new section, Section 7B, that would exempt cities and towns from paying this fuel excise tax when they purchase fuel for any municipal purpose. This means that when a local government, like a city or town, buys gasoline or other fuels to operate its vehicles or equipment for official business, it would no longer have to pay the state's gas tax on those purchases.
