Plain-language change summary

The revised bill clarifies the authority of the Commissioner of Transportation to conduct a mileage tax study using state funds. This change replaces a previous provision that would have prohibited the expenditure of state funds for such a study. As a result, the Commissioner is now empowered to both study the feasibility of a mileage-based user fee for vehicles on state highways and to use state funds to support this analysis, which could inform future transportation funding policies.
