Latest action on H.R. 7919: Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people and businesses that buy gasoline, along with fuel producers, fuel dealers, and the Treasury Department. Drivers and road-based businesses could pay less during the tax holiday if sellers lower prices. Fuel sellers would face pressure to pass the tax cut through to customers. Treasury would have to replace lost trust fund revenue and use its existing powers to support pass-through of the savings.

Why this matters: This bill could lower gasoline costs for several months, but only if the tax savings reach buyers at the pump. It also changes where the money comes from for highways and leaking fuel tank cleanup. Instead of relying on gas-tax revenue during the holiday, those funds would get replacement money from the general U.S. Treasury. The bill tries to stop fuel sellers from keeping the savings, but the text provided leaves some enforcement details unclear.

Key provisions in H.R. 7919

• The federal gasoline tax would drop to zero for covered gasoline. This applies to gasoline removed, entered, or sold from the day the bill becomes law through September 30, 2026, under the federal tax rule for gasoline.
• The bill would also pause the gasoline charge that pays for leaking underground fuel tank cleanup. That fund is called the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund.
• Treasury would replace the lost money for highway and leaking tank programs. It would move the same amount from the general U.S. Treasury that each fund would have received without the tax holiday.
• The replacement money would count like normal gas-tax money for bookkeeping and legal purposes. It would be treated as gasoline tax revenue under the federal gas-tax law and credited to the right trust fund.
• Consumers should get the tax cut right away through lower fuel prices. The bill states this as the policy of Congress.
