Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
End Superfund financing tax
If enacted, the Hazardous Substance Superfund financing rate would stop applying after December 31, 2025. The change would take effect January 1, 2026. Businesses that paid that financing rate would no longer owe it after that date. That would lower tax costs for affected businesses and would possibly lower some consumer prices.
End Superfund advances, require quarterly repayment
If enacted, the bill would end the authority to make advances from the Hazardous Substance Superfund on the date the Act is enacted. It would replace the prior December 31, 2032 authorization date with the enactment date. The bill would also require that any amounts advanced be repaid on a quarterly basis from unobligated Fund balances until repaid in full, starting on enactment. Ending advances and forcing repayments would reduce unobligated Fund money and could cut funds available for other cleanup activities.
