- amends the minimum average rack price of motor fuel for purposes of calculating fuel tax rates.
Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Utah's gas tax is calculated as a percentage of the statewide average wholesale fuel price, but the law sets a minimum price floor to ensure the tax doesn't fall too low when gas prices drop. This bill raises that price floor from $1.78 to $2.39 per gallon beginning January 1, 2027, which sets a higher baseline for calculating the fuel tax rate.
