H.510: AN ACT RELATING TO THE STATE'S TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM AND MISCELLANEOUS CHANGES TO THE STATE'S TRANSPORTATION LAWS

Two amendments to H.510, passed in April 2013, made a few changes to that state's transportation system and gasoline taxes, called for study of taxation of both electric and propane powered vehicles. The law directs the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to study "the feasibility, alternative implementation mechanisms, and timeline for replacing, in whole or in part, motor fuel tax revenues not collected from operators of plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles. The Commissioners shall develop recommendations as to the most reasonable and efficient mechanisms, and a realistic time frame, to charge operators of plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles for their use of transportation infrastructure so as to contribute to the Transportation Fund."

Introduced on March 14, 2013 and worked its way through the system passing both houses on April 29, 2013.
