Yesterday, the Greenville Chamber and Upstate Chamber Coalition gave their support for several state bills going through legislation, including one for road funding.
The bill, also known as H.3516, will be added to the House legislative calendar for debate in the coming weeks, and then will head to the Senate if approved.
It would increase the gas tax by 10 cents a gallon over a five-year period; increase the biennial motor vehicle registration fee to $16; capitalize on out-of-state registered vehicles; create biennial registration fees for all hybrid and electric vehicles; and more. Basically, it’s a catch all for road infrastructure projects.
