Study resolution on EV taxation and fees

Failed·5/22/25

Montana HJ8 calls for a study on electric vehicle fees and taxation to ensure fair funding for road infrastructure.

Montana HJ8 requests an interim study on electric vehicle fees and taxation to address the road funding gap. The study will compare and determine the fairness of registration fees and taxation methods for electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles. It will also review other states' tax and fee structures for electric vehicles and design a taxation system for high-efficiency light vehicles of all fuel types that is equitable and nondiscriminatory. The study aims to ensure that all drivers contribute fairly to funding roads.
