What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Strengthening Supply Chains Through Truck Driver Incentives Act of 2025," seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It aims to establish a new refundable tax credit specifically for commercial truck drivers. To qualify, individuals must hold a Class A commercial driver's license and operate a specific type of tractor-trailer combination. The bill also sets specific income limits for eligible taxpayers and requires a certain number of driving hours. There are special rules for individuals in apprenticeship programs and new truck drivers. The credit is intended to expire after the 2026 taxable year.
