A gas tax increase from $0.40 to $0.46, effective Jan. 1, 2026, is expected to raise $90 million a year.
The gas tax is split among the state and local governments, with half of the tax for the state, 30% for counties and 20% for cities.
An increase to registration surcharges for electric and highly fuel-efficient vehicles, from $35 to $65 annually for cars with a 40+ miles-per-gallon rating, and from $115 to $145 annually for electric vehicles.
Phasing in a mandatory road usage charge program for electric vehicles by 2031.
Any tax increases require 36 votes to pass in the House, and the vote went on mostly party lines.
