SB201 – Washoe County Index Tax on Gasoline/Gasohol and Special Fuel
Senate Bill 201, effective January 1, 2010, changed the annual indexing of gasoline in Washoe County to be based on a rolling 10-year average of the changes in the Producer Price Index (PPI) instead of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The bill also added the federal and state taxes for gasoline and special fuel to the list of taxes to be indexed for Washoe County. ‘Special fuel’ includes diesel, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), compressed natural gas (CNG), and emulsion of water-based, hydrocarbon fuel (A55). Prior to passage of SB201, there was no separate county tax on special fuel. See the FY10 Fuel Tax Rate Matrix.
