A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4762 AS INTRODUCED 5-15-01
House Bill 4762 would amend the Motor Fuel Tax Act to specify that it would be the intent of the act that the tax imposed by the act on the motor fuel that is imported into or sold, delivered, or used in Michigan is to be the primary source through which a person who operates a vehicle on the state's roads pays for that privilege. The bill also specifies that the legislature further determines that any taxation of vehicle operators on the basis of the amount of miles they drive in Michigan would not be an acceptable method of taxation to impose for the privilege of using the public roads.
