Gas Prices Relief Act of 2026

This bill, titled the Gas Prices Relief Act of 2026, would temporarily eliminate the federal gasoline tax for fuel sold between the date of enactment and October 1, 2026. The legislation directly affects gasoline producers, dealers, and consumers by setting the tax rate to zero during this period while requiring producers and dealers to pass the savings directly to consumers. To maintain funding for road infrastructure and environmental programs, the bill mandates that the Treasury transfer equivalent amounts from the general fund to the Highway Trust Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund. Additionally, the bill includes enforcement provisions that impose monetary penalties on fuel sellers who fail to pass the tax savings on to consumers.
