2002 House Bill 5734 / Public Act 667

Introduced in the House

Feb. 21, 2002

Introduced by Rep. Keith Stallworth (D-12)

To change the way that diesel fuel tax is collected so that the entire amount is collected at the pump just like the gasoline tax. Currently, nine-cents is collected at the pump, and six-cents-per-dollar sales tax is collected on those fuel purchases as well. Another 12-cents is collected in quarterly payments mailed into the state, less a six-cents per gallon credit against the sales tax paid at the pump, making the net diesel fuel tax 15-cents a gallon.

Referred to the Committee on Transportation

Dec. 3, 2002

Amendment offered

To replace the previous version of the bill with a version recommended by the committee which reported it. The substitute incorporates technical changes resulting from committee testimony and deliberation. These changes do not affect the substance of the bill as previously described.

The amendment passed by voice vote
