The bill, H. 5419, is a joint resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly that aims to suspend the user fee on gasoline and diesel fuel, as well as the road tax, for a period of thirty days. Specifically, it targets the user fee imposed under Section 12-28-310 and the road tax under Section 56-11-410, effectively pausing these charges from the date the resolution is enacted. After the thirty-day suspension, the fees will automatically be reinstated at the rates established by current law.
The resolution will take effect immediately upon approval by the Governor, providing a temporary relief measure for users of gasoline and diesel fuel in South Carolina. This action reflects a legislative response to potentially address economic concerns or provide financial relief to consumers during a specified period.
