2010 Senate Bill 1267

House Roll Call 498: Passed

To continue to impose a 7/8ths cent-per-gallon gas and refined petroleum tax scheduled to expire on Dec. 31, 2010. The tax was originally levied for the cleanup of underground fuel tanks, but was diverted to other government spending following a 2004 “<a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2004-HB-1267">fund raid</a>” enacted to avoid state spending cuts and reforms, and continues to be used for that purpose. The bill would extend the tax through 2015.
