Transportation: motor carrier fuel tax; certain definitions in the motor carrier fuel tax act; modify. Amends sec. 1 of 1980 PA 119 (MCL 207.211). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5379'23

This bill updates the definitions within Michigan's Motor Carrier Fuel Tax Act to clarify terms related to vehicles, fuels, and operators. It specifically expands the definition of "motor fuel" to include gasoline starting in 2017 and provides detailed criteria for what counts as a "qualified commercial motor vehicle" subject to the tax. The legislation also clarifies which entities, such as certain public transit agencies and farmers, are excluded from these tax requirements. Because the bill is tied to another piece of legislation, it will only take effect if that companion bill is also passed into law.
