Gas Prices Relief Act of 2026
The Gas Prices Relief Act of 2026 temporarily eliminates the federal excise tax on gasoline for fuel sold between the date of enactment and January 1, 2027. To maintain funding for highway and environmental projects, the Treasury Department will transfer money from the general fund to replace the lost tax revenue. The bill also directs the Treasury to enforce measures ensuring that fuel producers and dealers pass these tax savings directly to consumers through lower prices.
