AN ACT ELIMINATING THE HIGHWAY USE TAX.

HB 5081 would eliminate the highway use tax, a fee currently paid by vehicle owners for highway usage. The bill amends section 12-493a of the general statutes to remove this tax, meaning drivers would no longer owe this charge. This change directly affects vehicle owners who pay the tax as part of vehicle registration fees. The bill does not specify alternative funding for highway maintenance or other tax changes.
