The Alaska House has passed legislation to suspend a tax on motor fuels until mid-2023. The bill next goes to the Senate.
There currently is an 8 cents per gallon tax on gas purchased for highway use. The bill, as originally proposed, would have doubled that.
The original bill also called for increasing the surcharge on refined fuels to go toward an account used to address certain hazardous substance spills. A House committee gutted the bill to just deal with the surcharge increase as gas prices this spring rose.Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
