Event Description:
Join your ACEC/NC colleagues for Legislative Day at the North Carolina General Assembly. We will have the unique opportunity to advocate for passage of a bill dedicating General Fund Sales Tax revenue to the Highway Fund to help supplement the declining Motor Fuels Tax. The proposed Bill, SB 793 is attached (here).
According to the NC Department of Revenue, more than $500 million in state sales taxes on more than $11 billion in automotive-related purchases (ex. Auto dealers, auto supply stores, service stations, tire retailers, etc.) went to the general fund during 2021.
This could have provided a significant and desperately needed investment in North Carolina’s transportation needs. It’s time to change the process.
It’s time to make our priorities known!
