Transportation: motor fuel tax; motor fuel tax reciprocity agreements; revise. Amends sec. 3 of 1960 PA 124 (MCL 3.163).
This bill updates Michigan's laws to allow the state Department of Treasury to enter into fuel tax reciprocity agreements with neighboring states. These agreements specifically apply to large commercial trucks carrying raw forest products, such as logs and wood chips, to sawmills or factories located within 50 air miles of the state border. Under the new rules, these carriers would not need to pay Michigan fuel taxes or display certain licenses if they receive reciprocal treatment from the other state. The legislation also clarifies that the Department of Treasury has sole authority to negotiate these deals, separate from the broader highway reciprocity board.
