legislation.

the state from:
a) imposing a tax or fee based on vehicle miles traveled by a person in a motor vehicle; and
b) enacting any rule or law to monitor or limit the vehicle miles traveled by a person in a
motor vehicle.
2. Excludes, from the prohibition, a rule or law that requires the person to voluntarily consent to
the monitoring or limitation.

payment or reporting of fuel taxes or registration fees for commercial vehicles that operate in
more than one state.

election.
