Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Bill SB 76 has increased the special fuel excise tax rates. Specifically, the tax on one type of fuel has gone up from 17 cents to 20 cents per gallon, and another type has risen from 21 cents to 25 cents per gallon. This matters because raising these tax rates can provide additional revenue for the state, which could be used for public services, infrastructure, or improvements in transportation.
