Fiscal Detail and Notes
The bill reduces the premium imposed by the State on gasoline engine oil sold or distributed in containers larger than 5 gallons from $1.10 per gallon to $.35 per gallon.  This reduction in premium decreases Other Special Revenue Funds revenue collected by the Bureau of Revenue Services and deposited into the Waste Motor Oil Revenue Fund.  This could jeopardize the timely repayment of revenue bonds issued by the Finance Authority of Maine that are repaid with these premium payments.
