Introduced Text

Adjusts airplane fuel taxes in Massachusetts to support a shift to alternative transportation modes.

The bill amends the airplane fuel tax rates in Massachusetts to support a shift to alternative transportation modes. It increases the tax on jet fuel from 7.5 cents to 7.75 cents per gallon and raises the tax on aviation gasoline from 10 cents to 15 cents per gallon. These changes aim to encourage the use of other transportation options by making air travel more expensive.
