(AP) \u2014 North Dakota lawmakers are considering adding another 6 cents to the state\u2019s 23-cent a-gallon gas tax, which hasn\u2019t been raised since 2005.

A higher fuels tax is expected to bring in tens of millions of dollars more annually, with the bulk going to a state highway fund. The bill also more than doubles the road user fee for electric and hybrid vehicle drivers. The electric vehicle fee would jump from $120 to $250 annually. The hybrid fee would increase from $50 to $150 and the fee for electric motorcycles would increase from $20 to $100.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BISMARCK, N.D.
