Senate debates proposal to change future gas‑tax split to 60/40 for new revenue
Summary
Senators debated House Bill 308, which would leave the current state/local motor fuel distribution intact but, if the legislature raises the gas tax in the future, allocate any new revenue 60% to state and 40% to local governments. The Wilbur Smith study, road‑transfer assumptions, and timing of the change were central to the debate.
Senate debate on House Bill 308 focused on how any future increase in the motor fuel tax would be distributed between the state and local governments. Under the bill’s text presented on the floor, the existing distribution remains unchanged; if the tax is raised later the increase would be split 60% state / 40% local.
