[D-CA-24] (D-CA), 2025-05-13T00:00:00.000Z ## Provisions PRIA read - Temporary limits on EPA carbon rules: benefit, high. This bill would pause some EPA greenhouse gas rules where emissions are already taxed. The pause would last until January 1, 2039, unless emissions exceed set levels, which could end it earlier in 2031 or 2035. EPA could still regulate for health harms other than greenhouse gas effects, require mon… - RISE fund for roads and climate projects: benefit, high. This bill would place 75% of carbon tax money into a new RISE Trust Fund. From 2027 to 2036, fixed shares would go to programs like the Highway Trust Fund (70%), State grants, coastal flooding mitigation (4%), weatherization (1.5%), and more, as Congress appropriates. It would define which carbon r… - Credit for state carbon payments: benefit, high. Businesses that pay a State greenhouse gas charge would get a federal credit under this bill. The credit would equal 100% of the State payment in 2027, then 80% in 2028, 60% in 2029, 40% in 2030, and 20% in 2031. No credit would be allowed after 2031. - State help for low‑income energy bills: benefit, medium. This bill would give annual grants to States from 2027 through 2036 to help eligible low‑income households. To qualify, income would need to be at or below 150% of poverty and the household must be in SNAP or similar programs, meet the Medicare Part D low‑income rules, or receive SSI. States would… - Help for displaced energy workers: benefit, medium. For 10 years, this bill would fund help for energy workers who lose jobs because of the Act and some nuclear plant workers. Help could include retraining, moving costs, early retirement, and health benefits. It would support local redevelopment and allow transfers to the UMWA pension plan, with lim… - Prevailing wages on funded projects: benefit, medium. This bill would require contractors on projects funded or assisted by this Act to pay at least local prevailing wages. The Labor Department would set rates and enforce them. - Repeal federal gas and jet fuel taxes: benefit, medium. This bill would repeal federal motor vehicle and aviation fuel excise taxes for transactions after December 31, 2025. That could lower the tax portion of fuel prices. Actual price changes would depend on markets. - Bipartisan National Climate Commission: benefit, medium. This bill would create a 10‑member bipartisan climate commission with two co‑chairs. Members would be appointed within 180 days, serve six‑year terms, set emissions goals for 2031 and every five years through 2056, and start reports in 2032. The Commerce Secretary could accept disclosed private don… - New carbon tax on fuels and industry: cost, high. This bill would tax greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, certain products, and large industrial sources. The rate would be $40 per metric ton in 2027 and would rise each year by 5 percentage points plus inflation. If emissions beat set targets, the next year’s rate would also rise by $4 per… - Carbon border fees and export rebates: mixed, high. This bill would charge a border fee on covered imports and give rebates on covered exports to match U.S. carbon costs. The President would notify other countries, and Treasury would set rules within one year. Sectors with high greenhouse gas and trade intensity would be presumed covered. Some least… - Changes to coal project tax credit: mixed, high. This bill would change the section 48A credit rules. It would lower the size threshold from 400 MW to 200 MW and require 60% CO2 sequestration for certain older units. If a retrofit had a BACT analysis after August 8, 2005, it would have to meet that removal level. Remaining credits could be reallo… - EPA can set GHG rules for vehicles: mixed, medium. This bill would let EPA set greenhouse gas limits for new cars and engines and grant waivers under current law. It would also let EPA set limits for aircraft engines, but not stricter than global ICAO standards. EPA could set limits for nonroad engines and vehicles, like some construction and farm… ## Related bills - 119-hr-4275: Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025 - 119-hr-3151: SHIPS for America Act of 2025 - 119-hr-4669: FEMA Act of 2025 - 119-hr-4393: DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act of 2025 - 119-hr-3001: To advance commonsense priorities. - 119-hr-2725: Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2025 ## Sources - [119-hr-3338 on Congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/3338) ## Related - [119-hr-4275: Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-4275) - [119-hr-3151: SHIPS for America Act of 2025](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-3151) - [119-hr-4669: FEMA Act of 2025](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-4669) - [119-hr-4393: DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act of 2025](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-4393) - [119-hr-3001: To advance commonsense priorities.](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-3001) - [119-hr-2725: Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2025](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-2725) - [All bills in Congress](https://policyrisk.com/legislation) Source: PRIA, https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-3338 (as of 2026-04-21).
