## Summary

**A federal greenhouse gas tax** would be created to charge emissions from fossil fuels, specified industrial processes, and certain product uses, paired with border carbon adjustments and a new RISE Trust Fund to direct most revenue to infrastructure and climate programs. - Low-income households: States would receive grants from 10 percent of RISE Trust Fund allocations to send to households at or below 150 percent of the poverty line or participating in SNAP and related programs. - Industry and trade: Producers and owners at defined points of taxation would pay an emissions tax starting at $35 per metric ton CO2e in 2027, with annual increases and possible extra increases if emissions targets are missed. Imports and exports of covered goods face border adjustments to limit carbon leakage and rebate exporters for taxed costs. - Infrastructure, workers, and research: About 75 percent of subtitle L receipts would be placed in the RISE Trust Fund. Annual appropriations would send 70 percent of those funds to the Highway Trust Fund and carve out funding for flood mitigation, carbon removal R&D, and a 10-year displaced energy worker program.
