Michigan lawmakers send gas tax bill to the governor's desk.
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — State lawmakers have voted to suspend the state’s 27.2-cents-a-gallon gasoline and diesel taxes, finalizing a bill that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has signaled she will veto.
The Republican-sponsored legislation was approved 24-14 on mostly party lines Tuesday in the Senate after the House passed it last week.
It would save drivers about $750 million by freezing the taxes from April through September.
Gov. Whitmer has instead supported halting the federal 18.4-cents-per-gallon gas tax and 24.4-cent diesel tax while calling for negotiations on permanent tax cuts to commence. Legislative leaders may look at removing the 6% sales tax on fuel.
