The "Gas Prices Relief Act of 2025" proposes a temporary suspension of federal gasoline taxes, effective from its enactment until January 1, 2026. During this period, the standard federal gasoline tax rate and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund financing rate would both be set to zero, aiming to reduce consumer fuel prices. To maintain funding for infrastructure, the bill mandates that the Secretary of the Treasury transfer an equivalent amount from the general fund to the Highway Trust Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund . This ensures that these critical funds are not depleted by the tax holiday. The legislation also declares Congress's policy that the benefits of this tax reduction must be immediately passed on to consumers, empowering the Secretary with enforcement authority to ensure fuel prices reflect the tax cut.
Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
