2relating to: the annual adjustment of the motor vehicle fuel tax rate.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the rate of the motor vehicle fuel tax is annually adjusted
by multiplying the tax rate by the percentage change in the annual average U.S.
consumer price index.
Under this bill, the rate of the motor vehicle fuel tax is not annually adjusted.
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
