Senate Passes $395 Million Motorist Fee Tax Cut
Submitted by Anonymous on March 18, 2014 - 12:21pm
The Florida Senate passed a tax cut of nearly $400 million on Tuesday. The tax cut will roll back motorist fee increases approved by the Legislature in 2009.
It passed the Senate with a unanimous vote of 40-0. Gov. Rick Scott has pushed for the $395 million in tax cuts as a top priority as part of his $600 million tax cut pitch for Florida families.
Should the Florida House concur with the Senate, average motorist fees would be reduced by about $25 per vehicle.
