AI Summary

This bill establishes a local option gasoline and diesel fuel excise tax in Massachusetts. It allows cities and towns to impose an additional tax of up to 5 cents per gallon on the sale of fuel and special fuels to retail dealers within their jurisdiction. The tax revenue must be used for the maintenance, repair, and improvement of roads, bridges, sidewalks, bikeways, public parking areas, public transit, and stormwater management. The bill requires retail suppliers to report monthly sales data to the state Commissioner of Revenue, who will then distribute the collected taxes to the respective cities and towns.
