## Summary

**Repeal of the federal diesel excise tax** paired with new tax credits would aim to lower diesel costs and drive U.S. refinery construction and fuel output. - Families and drivers: Diesel sold, used, removed, or entered after enactment would no longer carry the federal diesel excise tax, which could lower fuel costs for households and freight users. - Refinery investors and workers: Creates a 35 percent refinery construction investment credit for qualified new refineries that begin construction after enactment and are placed in service before January 1, 2037. It also adds a 5-cent-per-gallon refinery production credit for gasoline and diesel from newly constructed refineries and makes the special depreciation allowance for related production property permanent. - Highway and cleanup funding: Requires the Treasury to transfer amounts equal to the lost diesel excise receipts to the Highway Trust Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund and to treat those transfers as taxes for financing rules. *The bill would require transfers from the Treasury general fund to cover lost diesel excise receipts, shifting federal receipts to dedicated transportation and cleanup trust funds.*
