2008 SPECIAL SESSION II
SB 6015 Transportation funding; creates sources of revenue by increasing motor vehicle sales & use tax, etc.
Introduced by: John S. Edwards | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Revenues of the Commonwealth; transportation funding. Creates additional sources of revenue for transportation by increasing the motor vehicle sales and use tax by one-half percent, the motor vehicle rental tax by one percent, and by imposing a five percent tax on the wholesale price of gasoline. The new revenue sources will be directed to the Rail Enhancement Fund, the Transportation Trust Fund, the Highway Maintenance and Operating Fund for transportation projects and needs of the Commonwealth, and certain priority transportation projects, as designated by the Commonwealth Transportation Board, in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads. The bill would also eliminate the one-half percent sales tax on food currently going to the Transportation Trust Fund, and would raise the allowed credit for low-income tax payers.
