Estimates indicate that the measures would add about 20 cents to the cost of a gallon of gas in 2023, increasing to between 41 and 50 cents per gallon by 2028
While the last few weeks have seen gas prices hold mostly steady, it's not likely to last forever, especially as Americans increasingly get outside as warmer temperatures return.
The Democrat Controlled House Environment and Energy Committee passed House Bill 1091, now it heads to floor for debate and likely vote. It's the one that would jack up gas prices as much as $.57 cents per gallon.
In the past, many budget increases were paid for in part with 'general obligation' bonds, which require 2/3 votes of House and Senate. Not with these this year.
