What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Protect Consumers from Reallocation Costs Act of 2025," aims to amend the Clean Air Act. It specifically targets the Renewable Fuel Standard regarding small refineries. The legislation seeks to prohibit the Administrator from reallocating renewable fuel obligations that apply to small refineries receiving certain exemptions. Additionally, it requires the inclusion of fuel produced by these small refineries in the total volume calculations for the year.
