What this bill would do

The Restoring Economic Diesel Fuel Act of 2026 aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Specifically, the bill seeks to eliminate penalties related to the sale and use of dyed fuel in taxable use. This is accomplished by striking section 6715 from the code. The changes include conforming and clerical amendments to ensure consistency. These amendments would apply to fuel sold or used after December 31, 2025.

The opposite

  • Does this cut the pollution that drives climate change?-2

    The removal of penalties for using dyed fuel may inadvertently encourage the use of non-taxed fuel in ways that bypass environmental tracking.

  • Does this better protect air, water and wildlife?-2

    Eliminating penalties related to dyed fuel usage may weaken the enforcement of fuel-use regulations intended for environmental oversight.

  • Does this give the federal government more power?-1

    By striking a section of the Internal Revenue Code, the bill reduces the federal government's punitive regulatory authority.
