Governor Braun Extends Indiana's Gas Tax Holiday for Third Time
Braun says the extension will save drivers more than 62 cents per gallon as Indiana keeps gas prices among the nation’s lowest.
- On Wednesday, Governor Mike Braun announced extending Indiana's suspension of the 7% gasoline usage tax and gasoline excise tax through July 7, marking the third extension of the gas tax holiday.
- Braun claimed Indiana currently offers the cheapest gas in the country at $3.585 per gallon, citing affordability as his number one priority while utilizing available policy tools.
- Suspending both taxes saves Hoosiers more than $0.62 per gallon at the pump, as the gasoline usage tax would otherwise be $0.265 and the excise tax stands at $0.36.
- House Speaker Todd Huston supports the extension to keep costs low, while Senate Minority leader Shelli Yoder criticized it as a 'band-aid' failing to address root causes of rising prices.
- State law permits Braun to continue energy emergency relief for up to 120 days without legislative action, though officials must eventually address long-term road funding and infrastructure maintenance.
