Abstract
(HB5966 · 103rd Legislature) Transportation: motor fuel tax; gas tax holiday; provide for. Amends secs. 8 & 152 of 2000 PA 403 (MCL 207.1008 & 207.1152). Sponsor: Rep.

Why this matters
A motor fuel tax holiday would temporarily reduce the per-gallon tax paid by Michigan drivers at the pump, lowering state fuel-tax revenue that typically flows to transportation funding. The proposal is at an early introduced stage, so any consumer savings or revenue impact depends on the suspension window and whether the Legislature advances the bill.
