E2SHB 1110, titled AN ACT Relating to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with transportation fuels, has been passed by the Senate Committee on Environment, Energy & Technology.

ASSUMPTIONS

- The Department of Revenue will not be administering the Clean Fuels program.

- Credits will be sold and traded on established markets. It is unclear if these types of transactions would result in a business and occupation (B&O) taxable event that would be taxed at the service and other activities rate. 

- There is no information available on the amount of buying, selling, or trading of credits that may happen; therefore, the revenue impact to the state general fund from any B&O taxes collected from this activity is indeterminate.

The department does not set, administer or collect the tax or fee contained in this bill.
