Plain-English Summary

This bill would likely reduce the federal tax on gasoline that drivers pay at the pump, which currently funds road and bridge construction and maintenance. Lower gas taxes would mean cheaper fuel for consumers and businesses that rely on transportation, but could reduce the money available for infrastructure projects unless replaced by other funding sources. The bill has been sent to the House transportation committee for review.
