HR 5827 United States House · 119th Congress

To advance bipartisan, common sense solutions.

The bill establishes a carbon tax on fossil fuel emissions starting at $35 per metric ton of CO2 equivalent in 2027, with annual increases based on inflation. It creates border tax adjustments for imports and exports of greenhouse gas-intensive products to prevent carbon leakage. Revenue from the tax would fund the Rebuilding Infrastructure and Solutions for the Environment Trust Fund, which would distribute funds for infrastructure projects, climate adaptation, and assistance for displaced energy workers. The tax would directly affect fossil fuel producers, manufacturers, and importers/exporters of covered goods.
