4/11/03-A
bill that would raise the state’s
fuel tax each year to adjust it for inflation was defeated in the Senate
Transportation Committee April 1. However, the committee has
decided to reconsider the bill
and vote on it again.
If SB541, sponsored by Sen. Tom Torlakson, D-Martinez, passes the committee this time, it still has several hurdles to jump. It will also have to pass the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee, and, under the California Constitution, it must pass the full chamber, as well as the House, by a two-thirds vote.
For bill status, call (916) 445-4251.
