北卡暂停 41 美分燃油税 10 月 10 日起至 11 月 30 日
北卡罗来纳州州长 Josh Stein 10 月 9 日签署第 3 号众议院法案《加油站减负法》，暂停征收该州每加仑 41 美分的燃油税。暂停期自 10 月 10 日起至 11 月 30 日，适用于汽油和柴油等机动车燃料，州政府将从稳定与通胀储备中拨出约 3.623 亿美元，补回交通资金缺口。
法案要求把减税收益让利给消费者，但零售商此前已缴税购入的库存除外；同时，符合条件的农业用途车辆使用红染柴油的罚款宽减延续至 12 月 31 日。Stein 表示，这项临时减负只是降低家庭生活成本的一步，州政府还会继续处理食品、能源和账单上涨的问题。（资料来源：北卡罗来纳州州长办公室、北卡罗来纳州议会）
North Carolina Suspends 41-Cent Fuel Tax From Oct. 10 Through Nov. 30
North Carolina Governor Josh Stein on October 9 signed House Bill 3, the Relief at the Pump Act, suspending the state's 41-cent-per-gallon motor-fuel tax. The suspension runs from October 10 through November 30 for gasoline, diesel and other covered motor fuels, and the state will replace an estimated $362.3 million in forgone revenue from its Stabilization and Inflation Reserve to keep transportation projects funded.
The law requires the savings to be passed through to consumers, except for fuel retailers had already bought with tax included, and it extends penalty relief for qualifying farm use of dyed diesel through December 31. Stein called the measure temporary relief and one step toward lowering everyday costs for families. (Source: Office of the Governor of North Carolina; North Carolina General Assembly)
