A bill that would add a yearly fee to all electric vehicles in the state has come one step closer to becoming law.
Rep. Denley Loge, R-St. Regis, is sponsoring House Bill 60 which would add an annual fee to all electric vehicles in the state to substitute for Montana’s gas tax.
The bill passed the House, 92-8, on Jan. 25, and following a second reading vote of 38-12 in the Senate on March 14, it will be evaluated by the Senate Finance and Claims Committee before it can be sent back to the Senate for a final vote.
