Plain-English Summary

The proposal would temporarily eliminate or reduce the federal tax on gasoline and diesel fuel, lowering prices at the pump for drivers and businesses that rely on fuel. This would affect everyone who drives a car, trucks, and companies that transport goods, though it would reduce tax revenue that normally funds highway maintenance and infrastructure projects. The measure is currently under review by the House Committee on Ways and Means.
