## Summary

**A temporary suspension of the federal excise tax on taxable motor fuels** would set the federal tax rate to zero for fuels removed, entered, or sold after enactment and before December 31, 2026, and it pairs that cut with a legal requirement that sellers pass savings to consumers. The bill directs the Treasury to use existing authorities to enforce pass-through and imposes monetary penalties on producers or dealers who fail to reflect the tax reduction in prices. - Families and drivers: Lower pump prices while the suspension lasts through Dec 31, 2026, as savings must be passed to consumers. - Fuel producers and dealers: Must change posted prices to reflect the tax cut and face penalties at least equal to the unpaid pass-through amount if they do not comply. - Treasury and enforcement: The Secretary of the Treasury would be directed to use existing tools to ensure consumers get the benefit and to enforce penalties; no new agencies are created.
