Budget & Taxes (Revenue)

This bill redirects 4% of online sales tax revenue - including taxes collected from marketplace providers like Amazon - to fund local street and highway projects through the CHIPS program. It requires the comptroller to deposit these funds into a dedicated infrastructure account before distributing other tax funds. The program directly supports local governments undertaking road and highway improvements, using revenue generated from online retail transactions. The funding mechanism is effective January 1, 2026, and expires three years later. (Note: CHIPS = Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program.)

Enacts the "gas tax holiday act"; provides that from the first of the month after the effective date of the section until December 31, 2027 the taxes imposed on retail sales of fuel gas, motor fuel and diesel motor fuel shall be exempt from certain taxes.
