Senate House Group Studies Truck License Boost
A joint House and Senate conference committee in Springfield weighs a truck licensing increase ahead of a final vote. The panel, meeting in secrecy, eyes a 16 to 20 million dollar annual rise with a use tax on out of state truckers and staged hikes toward a 28 million dollar goal, contrasting Senate and House positions. Senate preference leans to higher boosts in large truck classes and parity with passenger taxes, while House support leans toward a two stage rise toward 28 million. The committee may alter the bill, risking passage in either chamber.
