MODERATE
This bill removes the requirement to charge plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) a state mileage-based road usage charge, limiting the state charge to electric vehicles only. It also expands how state highway funds can be used to include infrastructure and measures to reduce vehicle miles traveled, and clarifies that rental companies can pass these charges to consumers.

The bill's scope was narrowed regarding the state charge by excluding plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, while the scope of fund usage was broadened to include additional infrastructure and safety measures.
