SENATE RESOLUTION

 
2    WHEREAS, A proposed new tax on miles traveled on public,
3non-tolled Illinois roads using GPS tracking technology has
4been proposed in the Illinois General Assembly; and
 
5    WHEREAS, Road user charges (RUCs), also known as
6mileage-based user fees (MBUFs) or vehicle miles traveled (VMT)
7fees, would impose a new financial burden, raise privacy
8concerns for Illinois residents, and make our State even less
9competitive; and
 
10    WHEREAS, Such proposals would offer Illinois drivers a
11variety of bad options; and
 
12    WHEREAS, A GPS monitoring plan would create privacy
13concerns for all Illinoisans and expose personal and
14confidential information to the possibility of a data breach;
15therefore, be it
 
16    RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE ONE HUNDREDTH GENERAL
17ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we urge the General
18Assembly not to impose road user charges; and be it further
 
19    RESOLVED, That we state our firm opposition to any new tax
20on miles traveled.
