Summary

This measure imposed a $.01 per gallon gasoline surtax and a $.01 cent per gallon special fuels surtax to fund completing the Highway 491 four-lane project. It also creates the Highway 491 Project Fund and allows State highway bonds to be issued for the project in the amount of $123 million.

 

One benefit of this bill may be that additional taxes on fuel might contribute to people re-thinking their driving habits to use less fuel.
