Idaho Legislature formally opposes Utah's proposed export tax on transportation fuels, which would affect approximately 70,000 barrels per day imported from Utah, with 75% of taxed fuel sold to Idaho consumers

The proposed Utah tax would cost Idaho families, farmers, and businesses hundreds of millions of dollars annually and could place Idaho among the most heavily taxed fuel markets nationally

Constitutional concerns raised under Article I, Section 10, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits states from imposing duties on exports without Congressional consent

Memorial urges Governor Spencer Cox to publicly oppose the tax and commit to vetoing it, while calling for continued interstate cooperation on transportation funding and energy policy

Idaho Legislature commits to taking "any and all actions necessary" to block the tax, characterizing it as taxation without representation for Idaho citizens
