Gas Tax Relief Act
This bill, titled the Gas Tax Relief Act, temporarily eliminates the federal excise tax on gasoline and other taxable fuels for a period of up to 215 days starting after its enactment. The tax holiday directly affects drivers and businesses that purchase fuel, removing the specific tax rates that currently apply to these purchases. To maintain federal revenue, the law requires the Treasury Secretary to transfer an amount equal to the tax savings into the Highway Trust Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund. Additionally, the President has the authority to extend the tax suspension or gradually reintroduce the tax over time based on economic conditions.
