Gas Tax Holiday: Lower Fuel Prices for Drivers

This bill proposes a temporary suspension of the federal gasoline tax, which could lead to lower fuel prices at the pump. The aim is to ease transportation costs for citizens during and after the public health crisis. The tax suspension will last until the COVID-19 emergency ends or for 180 days.
Key points
Lower Gas Prices: The federal tax of 18.3 cents per gallon will be temporarily suspended, which should result in lower fuel prices for drivers.
Duration: The tax suspension will last from the bill's enactment until the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency (federal or state level) or for 180 days, whichever is later.
No Change for Aviation Fuel: The bill does not affect the tax on aviation gasoline, so its prices will remain unchanged.
