Overview
This bill prohibits local governments like cities and counties from imposing taxes, fees, assessments, or charges based on the number of miles a vehicle travels. It also prevents state agencies from using state funds for planning or implementing such taxes. Funds currently allocated for these purposes would be reverted to the General Fund, and future budget appropriations would require specific legislative authorization. Tolls on specific facilities are exempt.
