    SB 1 was passed by the California legislature to increase gas taxes and vehicle fees by $5.2 billion per year to fund road and infrastructure repairs. The bill was signed into law by Governor Brown in April 2017 and increases gas taxes by 12 cents per gallon and diesel taxes by 20 cents per gallon starting in November. It also increases vehicle registration fees between $25-175 depending on the vehicle's value. The new revenue will be used to repair roads, freeways, bridges and support public transportation programs across the state. Some Republicans in California have proposed efforts to overturn the gas tax increase through a ballot referendum.
