What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Diesel Prices Relief Act of 2026," aims to provide a diesel fuel tax holiday. It sets the tax rate for diesel fuel, excluding kerosene, to zero for diesel sold between the date of enactment and January 1, 2027. To ensure funds remain available, the Secretary of the Treasury will transfer money from the general fund to the Highway Trust Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund. The bill establishes a policy that these tax savings should be passed directly to consumers. It also gives the Secretary of the Treasury authority to enforce these price reductions.
