Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The stated purpose of this bill is to authorize those who sell or deliver motor fuel to the federal government, or one of its agencies, and to whom the federal government refuses to pay the Motor Fuel Excise Tax to claim a refund of the tax, and to change the time for claiming a refund to a quarterly basis. The passage of this bill may only result in a minimal revenue loss to the State Road Fund. This bill merely changes to whom the refund is paid. Instead of the federal government paying the tax and claiming a refund, the seller of the tax-paid fuel may claim the refund. Additional administrative costs to the Tax Department would be minimal.
