Excludes passenger and freight rail projects from purposes for which revenue from increase in petroleum products gross receipts tax revenue may be used.
This bill prohibits New Jersey from using revenue generated by the 2016 increase in the petroleum products gross receipts tax for passenger rail or freight rail projects. It amends state law to explicitly exclude these rail projects from the list of eligible uses for this tax revenue. As a result, funds collected from this tax cannot be allocated toward rail infrastructure improvements, such as new tracks, stations, or equipment for either passenger or freight rail service. The change directly affects how the state funds transportation projects, ensuring this specific tax revenue supports other transportation priorities instead.
