Illinois looking to put a hurting on hybrids/EVs

Have you guys seen this? If it's already been posted, please delete.

Lawmaker proposes taxing Illinois drivers by the mile | abc7chicago.com

The idea is that hybrids and EVs aren't contributing to road maintenance because the money for it is built into the gas tax. Law proposed to tax 1.5 cents per mile or yearly flat tax of $450. Some sort of rebate makes it balance out for regular car drivers who would be taxed at the pump and on the road supposedly.
