An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for consumer diesel fuel tax relief and for Commonwealth indebtedness.
This bill temporarily removes the tax on diesel fuel in Pennsylvania for a 60-day period to provide relief to consumers and businesses using the fuel. To fund this tax break, the state will take on $197 million in new debt, with repayment coming from the Motor License Fund. The borrowed money will be used to cover the financial costs of highway and bridge maintenance or construction projects during the tax relief period.
