This bill would overhaul how Kentucky funds its roads and transportation system by restructuring the state fuel tax, setting it at a starting rate of 29.6 cents per gallon with annual adjustments tied to a national construction cost index. It would also raise a range of fees that Kentuckians pay for vehicle registrations, titles, driver's licenses, and traffic school, while creating a new multimodal transportation fund and adjusting how fuel tax revenue is shared with counties and cities. Who it may affect: drivers and vehicle owners, motor carriers and trucking companies, county clerks, and local governments that receive road funding.
