Indiana Congressman Rudy Yakym and Illinois Congressman Brad Schneider have introduced the Concrete Pump Tax Fairness Act.

The legislation would eliminate the current fuel tax on mobile concrete boom pumps, replacing it with a mileage-based user fee.

Supporters argue the current system unfairly penalizes operators because the trucks consume heavy amounts of fuel while stationary on construction sites.

Under the new plan, all tax revenue would be directed into the Highway Trust Fund to support national infrastructure.
