- The proposed “holiday” would run from July 1 to December 31 and could lower gas prices by about 20 cents per gallon.
- The measure would pause only the sales tax, not the motor fuel tax, which is among the highest in the country.
- Republicans criticized Democrats for redirecting road funds to Chicago-area mass transit, arguing downstate areas have been neglected.
- The bill is currently in the Rules Committee and would take effect immediately if passed.
