The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5547, aims to eliminate the highway use tax by amending section 12-493a of the general statutes. The bill does not specify any new provisions or regulations to replace the tax, but its primary purpose is to remove this tax from the current legal framework.

The statement of purpose for the bill clearly indicates that the intent is to abolish the highway use tax, which may have implications for transportation funding and revenue generation within the state. The bill has been introduced by several representatives and is currently referred to the Committee on Finance, Revenue and Bonding for further consideration.
