AB897,1,1
1An Act relating to: delaying the recomputation of the motor vehicle fuel tax rate.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the state imposes a tax on all motor vehicle fuel received by
a supplier in this state. Annually by April 1, the department of revenue (DOR)
recomputes the rate of the tax on motor vehicle fuel by adjusting the rate for inflation.
DOR publishes the recomputed rate and that new rate is effective on April 1 of each
year.
Under the bill, for the motor vehicle fuel tax rate effective April 1, 2000, DOR
will not recompute the motor vehicle fuel tax rate and the motor vehicle fuel tax rate
effective on April 1, 1999, will remain in effect until April 1, 2001.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB897,2,23
(1)
Motor vehicle fuel tax rate. Notwithstanding section 78.015 of the
4statutes, for the motor vehicle fuel tax rate effective on April 1, 2000, the department
5of revenue shall not recompute the rate of the motor vehicle fuel tax imposed under
1section 78.01 (1) of the statutes and the motor vehicle fuel tax rate effective on April
21, 1999, shall remain in effect until April 1, 2001.
