The final version of the $11.7 billion-dollar transportation bill has moved out of a committee in the Oregon Legislature.
Republicans say it's not a compromise.
The bill will increase the gas tax 12 cents on January 1st. New vehicles will have a 2.25% tax, which also applies to used vehicles over $10,000.
Electric vehicles and hybrids would have to pay a per-mile tax or an annual fee.
The bill still needs to pass both chambers.
