Key Points

  • This bill would set the federal gasoline tax rate to zero from the day it's signed into law through December 31, 2025 — a temporary "gas tax holiday" designed to lower prices at the pump for everyday drivers.

    From policy text

    “In the case of gasoline removed, entered, or sold on or after the date of the enactment of this Act and before January 1, 2026-- (1) the rate of tax under section 4081(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall be zero”

  • The federal gas tax is currently 18.4 cents per gallon. Congress declares it wants fuel producers and gas stations to pass the full savings on to consumers by lowering prices, rather than pocketing the difference as extra profit.

    From policy text

    “transportation motor fuels producers and other dealers take such actions as necessary to reduce transportation motor fuels prices to reflect such reduction”

  • The Highway Trust Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund — which pay for road repairs and environmental cleanup — would be kept whole by transferring money from the government's general fund to cover the lost gas tax revenue.

    From policy text

    “The Secretary of the Treasury shall transfer from the general fund to the Highway Trust Fund established under section 9503(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund established under section 9508(a) of such Code amounts equal to the reduction in amounts credited”

  • The Treasury Secretary is given enforcement authority to make sure consumers actually see lower gas prices, though the bill does not spell out specific penalties or mechanisms for doing so.

    From policy text

    “The Secretary may use all applicable authorities to ensure that the benefit of the reduction in taxes resulting from the application of subsection (a) is received by consumers.”
