If enacted, this bill would introduce several prohibitions regarding the tracking and taxation of vehicle miles traveled by individuals. Specifically, it would amend current statutes to prevent any state or local government entity from establishing vehicle miles of travel reduction goals or targets in their transportation or land-use planning. Additionally, it would prohibit these entities from tracking or maintaining records of an individual's vehicle miles traveled through methods such as odometer readings captured by cameras or third-party data.
Furthermore, the bill would explicitly forbid any public entity from imposing or collecting fees or taxes based on the number of miles traveled by an individual in a motor vehicle. These provisions aim to protect individuals from potential mileage-based taxation and surveillance, thereby ensuring privacy and limiting government intervention in personal travel habits.
