Plain-English Summary
This bill would make the federal fuel tax rules the same for ships and boats as they are for trucks and cars on highways. Currently, maritime vessels pay different fuel taxes than land-based transportation, and this legislation aims to create equal treatment across all transportation types. The change would affect shipping companies, barge operators, and other maritime businesses that use fuel for commercial purposes.
