Overview: HD 1323, "An Act relative to exempting municipalities from the gas tax", has been introduced in the House on November 29, 2025.
Purpose and Intent: The bill seeks to provide relief to municipalities by exempting them from paying the state's gas tax when purchasing fuel for their vehicle fleets. This is intended to reduce the financial burden on local governments and allow them to redirect those funds to other critical services and infrastructure.
Key Provisions:
- Exempts all purchases of gasoline and diesel fuel by municipalities from the state's gas tax
- Requires the state to reimburse municipalities for any gas tax paid
- Directs the Department of Revenue to establish a process for municipalities to claim the gas tax exemption
Affected Parties and Impacts: This bill would directly benefit all municipalities in the state by reducing their fuel costs. The savings could be used to maintain roads, invest in public transportation, or support other local priorities. However, the state would see a reduction in gas tax revenue, which may need to be addressed through other means.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been introduced in the House and is currently awaiting committee assignment and further legislative action. If passed, the gas tax exemption for municipalities would take effect within 90 days of the bill becoming law.
