To advance sensible priorities.

HR 6636, "To advance sensible priorities," primarily establishes a carbon tax on greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, starting at $35 per metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2027 with annual increases tied to inflation. The tax revenue would fund infrastructure projects, climate adaptation programs, and worker assistance programs, while border tax adjustments would apply to imports and exports of greenhouse gas-intensive products. The bill directly affects fossil fuel producers, manufacturers, and importers of greenhouse gas-intensive goods through this tax mechanism. It also includes additional titles addressing cancer research funding, PFAS contamination response, sanctions on Russia, school safety improvements, voting reforms, and veteran benefits.
