What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Natural Gas Tax Repeal Act," aims to repeal the natural gas tax. It specifically targets Section 136 of the Clean Air Act regarding methane emissions and waste reduction incentive programs. The legislation would repeal the existing section related to petroleum and natural gas systems. Additionally, it calls for the rescission of any unobligated balances from that section. This action would effectively end the current program and its available funding.
