69Tax Structure & Funding Needs
The Spills Program is funded by a five-cent tax on
each barrel of oil (0.12 cent per gallon) imported
into the state. A number of equity and funding
stability issues have been raised related to the tax.
These concerns include a tax credit for oil
exported from the state, an exemption on oil
imported by pipeline, and the fairness of relying
entirely on the petroleum industry for funding.
The tax credit has resulted in periodic revenue
fluctuations that hinder the effectiveness of state
efforts.
