Plain-English Summary

This bill would extend tax credits that coal refineries can claim when they produce refined coal, allowing them to continue receiving these financial incentives for a longer period. The credits help offset the costs of refining coal into a cleaner-burning fuel, making the process more economically attractive to energy companies. The bill is currently being reviewed by the Senate Finance Committee.
