Pay Less at the Pump Act of 2026
This bill terminates a specific tax rate (the Hazardous Substance Superfund financing rate) used to fund hazardous waste cleanup efforts after December 31, 2025, with the change taking effect January 1, 2026. It also modifies how the government repays advances from the Superfund, requiring quarterly payments from unobligated funds until fully repaid, effective upon the bill's enactment. The bill directly affects the federal government's funding mechanisms for the Superfund program, not consumers or businesses. It makes concrete changes to tax code provisions and repayment procedures without altering the program's core purpose or directly impacting gasoline prices (despite the misleading bill title).
