印第安纳州批准 1.029 亿美元公路资金报销：弥补燃油税假期收入损失
印第安纳州财政委员会10月21日批准新一轮公路资金报销，金额超过1.029亿美元，用于弥补8月1日至31日燃油税假期造成的公路收入损失，其中超过1910万美元将直接拨给市、镇与县级地方政府。这是州长 Mike Braun 推行燃油税假期以来的第四轮报销。委员会同时批准将7000万美元汽油消费税收入年度转拨至州公路建设与改善基金。
官员表示，该笔资金基于7月征收的燃油税收入，通常在8月的地方公路资金分配中体现为调整项；今年因燃油税假期推迟了7月收入入库，调整项出现的时间比往年更晚。官员称，报销款将保障地方公路预算不受燃油税假期影响，但成本实质上转移到了州储备资金。
Indiana Approves $102.9 Million Highway Reimbursement to Offset Gas Tax Holiday Losses
Indiana's State Budget Committee on Oct. 21 approved a new round of highway funding reimbursements totaling more than $102.9 million, to offset road revenue lost during the Aug. 1-31 gas tax holiday. More than $19.1 million of the amount will go directly to cities, towns and counties. It is the fourth reimbursement since Gov. Mike Braun implemented the gas tax holiday. The committee also approved the annual transfer of $70 million in gasoline excise tax revenue to the state highway construction and improvement fund.
Officials said the money is based on gas tax revenue collected in July and normally appears as an adjustment in August local road distributions; this year the holiday delayed the July revenue, so the adjustment arrived later than usual. They said the reimbursements keep local road budgets whole despite the holiday, though the cost is effectively shifted to state reserve funds.
