Ends a tax on oil and gas that helps pay for hazardous waste cleanups.
The "Pay Less at the Pump Act of 2026" would end a specific tax on crude oil and imported fuels starting January 1, 2026. This tax helps pay for the Hazardous Substance Superfund, which cleans up dangerous waste sites. The bill would also change how this fund can get temporary money from the government's main budget.
Currently, a specific tax on crude oil and imported petroleum products helps fund the Hazardous Substance Superfund, and the fund can get temporary loans from the government's general budget until 2032. This bill would end that tax after December 31, 2025, and immediately stop the fund from getting new temporary loans, requiring existing loans to be repaid quarterly.
