💨 Abstract

The GOP's proposal for an annual $20 vehicle fee, criticized as a national car tax, has been removed from budget reconciliation legislation. The fee aimed to phase out the federal gas tax but faced opposition from both parties. The legislation still includes fees for EVs and hybrids. The move was due to the fee becoming a political distraction, with the issue of a broken highway trust fund still unresolved.
