SACRAMENTO—State Republican lawmakers attempted to suspend the 51 cents-per-gallon gas tax on March 24—but were denied again.
Assemblyman Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) introduced Assembly Bill 1638 in January which would have immediately shut down the statewide gas tax. However, the bill failed in the state assembly on March 14.
The bill was attempted to be reintroduced March 24, but was denied a hearing on an urgency order during a 48–18 vote, with Democrats voting to not hear it.
Instead, the legislation will be heard in an assembly committee on a different date.
