<p style="text-align:justify;margin-bottom:15px"><span>(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today is reminding Connecticut residents that the law he signed earlier this year that suspends the state’s 25-cent-per-gallon excise tax on gasoline – which was initially set to expire on June 30, 2022 – has been extended for several additional months and will remain in effect through November 30, 2022.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin-bottom:15px"><span>In March, the governor signed legislation (</span><a href="https://officeofthegovernor.cmail19.com/t/j-l-vsikid-tuhktkddhi-u/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color:#0071bb;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span>Special Act 22-2</span></a><span>) that suspended that tax from April 1 to June 30, 2022. Then in May, he signed a separate bill (</span><a href="https://officeofthegovernor.cmail19.com/t/j-l-vsikid-tuhktkddhi-o/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color:#0071bb;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span>Public Act 22-118</span></a><span>) that directs the duration of this tax holiday to continue through November 30, 2022.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin-bottom:15px"><span>Similar to the gas tax holiday, the suspension of fares on all public transit buses statewide has also been extended for the same period.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin-bottom:15px"><span>“The suspension of the gas tax helps provide some relief to consumers as they face rising prices due to a number of international dynamics and market instability that go far beyond our state,” <strong>Governor Lamont said</strong>. “I am glad that we were able to pass legislation allowing this gas tax holiday to remain in effect for several additional months.”</span></p>
