Gov. Braun Extends Suspension of Indiana Gas Taxes Again. Here’s How Long It Will Continue
Braun said the sixth suspension since April will keep fuel tax relief in place and let farmers use dyed diesel for farm work.
- On Wednesday, Indiana Gov. Mike Braun extended the state's gas tax holiday through Nov. 4 and eased restrictions on dyed diesel fuel for farmers seeking relief from record-high fuel costs.
- Braun cited continued global oil supply disruptions, 'including recent Houthi drone attacks in Saudi Arabia that shut down the East-West Pipeline,' which accounts for 7% of global oil supply.
- The order permits farmers and timber harvesters to use off-road fuel for 'any farm-related activities' for the next 30 days, providing relief during the busy fall harvest season.
- Indiana House Democratic Leader Phil GiaQuinta, D-Fort Wayne, supports the diesel relief but labeled it 'small, temporary relief,' arguing farmers have been 'crushed' by federal policies and a 46% increase in bankruptcies last year.
- To cover lost revenue, Braun plans to tap the state's $4 billion surplus while the state has already distributed nearly $46.2 million to local governments for road tax losses since April.
