Gov. Dunleavy asks Alaska House to consider suspending motor fuel tax until June 2023
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Gov. Mike Dunleavy has joined bipartisan calls from state senators to temporarily suspend the state’s motor fuels tax.
“We are taking a close look at this and are considering any and all options to provide Alaskans further assistance to combat high fuel prices in addition to the $1,300 energy relief check,” she said through a prepared statement.The Senate unanimously passed a non-binding resolution on Friday, committing to work with the House and the Dunleavy administration to suspend the tax. Sen. Elvi Gray-Jackson, D-Anchorage, introduced the Sense of the Senate on Friday morning.
But, there are questions how impactful the tax suspension would be more generally. Two years ago, the Senate was debating doubling the state’s motor fuels tax and there were rough estimates that it ends up costing the average motorist less than $60 per year.
