The bill introduces a comprehensive federal tax on greenhouse gas emissions, starting at $35 per metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2027 and increasing annually. This tax applies to combusted fossil fuels, emissions from specific industrial processes, and certain manufactured product uses. It includes mechanisms for rate adjustments based on emission levels, exemptions for non-combustive uses and carbon capture, and border adjustments for imports and exports of greenhouse gas-intensive products to prevent carbon leakage and encourage international climate action. Revenues from this carbon tax will fund the newly established Rebuilding Infrastructure and Solutions for the Environment (RISE) Trust Fund , with 75% of collected amounts appropriated to it. These funds are allocated across various sectors, including significant portions for the Highway Trust Fund, weatherization programs, and State grants for low-income households. Other allocations support the Airport and Airway Trust Fund, abandoned mine reclamation, frequent and chronic flooding mitigation, and diverse energy research and development initiatives focused on carbon capture, removal, storage, and battery technology. The legislation also repeals federal motor vehicle and aviation fuel taxes and modifies credits for qualifying advanced coal projects. A key provision places a moratorium on the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions based on their climate effects under the Clean Air Act, with specific exceptions for certain sources like motor vehicles and a sunset clause if emission reduction targets are not met. To support communities, the bill provides assistance for workers displaced from fossil energy and nuclear power sectors, offering retraining, relocation expenses, health benefits, and block grants for economic redevelopment. It also establishes a National Climate Commission to set emissions reduction goals and assess federal policies, and a National Bipartisan Fiscal Commission to recommend legislative packages for stabilizing long-term deficits and debt, with expedited congressional consideration for its proposals. Beyond environmental and economic policies, the bill addresses several other priorities. The KO Cancer Act increases the National Cancer Institute's budget for cancer research and mandates a report on cancer drug shortages. It also creates a Department of Defense coordinator for engagement with communities impacted by PFAS contamination and strengthens the financial industry's role in combating human trafficking through enhanced anti-money laundering procedures. School safety is addressed through the Measures for Safer School Districts Act (MSD Act) , which requires local educational agencies to develop emergency response and parental notification procedures and mandates the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to establish standards for reinforced school doors. Additionally, the Let America Vote Act requires states to permit unaffiliated voters to participate in primary elections and prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections, linking federal election administration funds to this prohibition for state and local elections. Further provisions include a review of intelligence sharing with Ukraine, the designation of "Election Day" as a federal holiday, and the inclusion of veteran-owned small businesses as disadvantaged business enterprises for infrastructure investments. Finally, the Protecting VA Employees Act repeals specific removal and demotion processes for certain Department of Veterans Affairs employees, restoring prior disciplinary and grievance procedures for Veterans Health Administration personnel while maintaining whistleblower protections.
