What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Presidential Emergency Action to Stabilize Energy Act or the EASE Act. It allows the President to temporarily suspend the gas tax during certain national emergencies. The suspension applies to taxable fuel removed, entered, or sold during a defined national emergency gas tax suspension period. This suspension period lasts for 60 days, but the President can extend it to 120 days by notifying Congress. The bill requires transfers from the general fund to the Highway Trust Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund to make up for the reduced tax amounts. The authority for this gas tax suspension ends after December 31, 2028.
