AN ACT
Relating to motor vehicle mileage taxes.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section 1. No global positioning system or other technology that identifies and records a person’s location at all times shall be used to monitor mileage traveled by any motor vehicle on any road, highway, or street in this state for the purpose of imposing any tax on the mileage traveled by such motor vehicle.
[emphasis in original]
The next thing you know all licensed drivers are gonna have to wear tinfoil helmets on the road.
Previously:
We’re from Missouri (July 6, 2012)
HB 1141: the ultimate in teabagger automotive accessories (January 6, 2012)
Because cars are becoming more efficient, there are people suggesting we should be taxing people based on the distance that they drive and not tax fuel consumption.
Of course, such a procedure complicates taxes.
There is motivation for this bill.
