Summary

The bill removes the vehicle excise tax for rental vehicles, so owners of rental cars will not pay the tax when the vehicle is titled. It also lowers the tax rate applied to rental vehicles from 6.5% to 3.5% of fair market value and redirects certain tax revenues. The change is intended to lower costs for rental companies and potentially reduce rental prices for consumers.
