Tomorrow 3/10/23 at 2PM there is a public hearing to SUNSET the Highway Use Fee/Tax imposed on certain trucks. Our business SUPPORTS HB 5290 An Act Sunsetting the Highway Use Tax as it is a financial and administrative burden on our business and the tax will ultimately impact our customers in higher pricing which will be in addition to our recent price increases caused by the high cost of diesel and gas (lots of taxes paid in those transactions too). Hopefully seeing how this works, helps others to engage in the legislative process. Thanks to the Republicans and Rep. John Piscopo for working to get rid of this https://www.cthousegop.com/highway-use-tax-petiton/

House Republicans have used a parliamentary procedure to circumvent Democrat opposition to a bill that would save inflation-weary businesses and residents money by eliminating the new highway use tax (HUT) on heavyweight trucks.
