AN ACT ELIMINATING THE HIGHWAY USE TAX.

HB 5542 would eliminate the highway use tax by amending state law (section 12-493a of the general statutes). This bill directly affects drivers who currently pay this tax on vehicles registered in the state. The key provision removes the tax requirement from the statute, meaning the tax would no longer apply to vehicle registrations. The bill is a straightforward policy change with no additional mechanisms or funding impacts described.
