What’s happening with Gas Prices Relief Act of 2025?

The effort to suspend the federal gas tax is stalled with H.R. 8572, which has remained in the House Committee on Ways and Means since April 28, 2026. The committee members must act to move the bill forward, but historical data shows that most bills die in committee without ever receiving a vote. This lack of committee action is the primary barrier to progress for this proposal.
