Fiscal Detail and Notes
Eliminating the 1¢ per gallon reduction in fuel taxes reimbursed will reduce Highway Fund revenue by an estimated $9,365 in fiscal year 2007-08 and $13,085 in fiscal year 2008-09 and will also result in a minor reduction of General Fund revenue.  The administrative costs to Maine Revenue Services related to this bill are contingent on whether MRS must develop new forms and implement computer program enhancements.
