Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, an excise tax is imposed, generally, on gasoline and diesel
fuel received by a fuel supplier for sale in this state, for export to this state, or for sale
for export to this state. Annually, the department of revenue adjusts the excise tax
rate based on the U.S. consumer price index. The excise tax on gasoline and diesel
fuel is passed on to the consumer of the gasoline or diesel fuel.
This bill creates an excise tax exemption on gasoline or diesel fuel sold to and
used by a school district in this state.
This bill will be referred to the joint survey committee on tax exemptions for a
detailed analysis, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
