With the average Illinois gas price 91 cents per gallon higher than it was one month ago, a state lawmaker is asking for a sales tax holiday on gas purchases.
State Rep. Ryan Spain says House Bill 5738 would pause Illinois’ unique sales tax on gasoline for six months.
Spain was asked if there would be any need for the legislation if the U.S. conflict in the Middle East is resolved.
AAA pegged the state’s average price for a gallon of unleaded at $4.41 on Wednesday, up from $3.50 one month earlier.
