Iff Analysis h0132 2015 PDF
ANALYST'S NOTE: House Bill 132 is very similar to House Bill 54, although it also sets some specified
measurement metrics for natural gas.
Under current law, owners of vehicles powered by gaseous fuels are allowed to pay a flat annual fee in
lieu of paying the fuel tax at the rate of 25 cents for an amount of gaseous fuels having energy equal to
one gallon of gasoline. House Bill 132 would eliminate this option and in so doing cost those who use it
$375,000 annually.
Point No. 5 Does it directly or indirectly create or increase any taxes, fees, or other assessments?
Conversely, does it eliminate or reduce any taxes, fees, or other assessments?
ANALYSIS: House Bill 132 removes from Idaho code an alternative taxing option for owners of
vehicles powered by gaseous fuels. This change will result in a $375,000 increase in government
revenue funded through a de-facto tax increase on impacted persons. (-1)
