A ban on gasoline exports during high U.S. pump prices.

Show full summary
- Families and drivers: Exporting U.S.-produced gasoline would be barred during those price-trigger periods. That changes how much domestically produced gasoline can leave the U.S. while the trigger is active.
- Refiners and exporters: Companies shipping gasoline classifiable under HTS 2710.12 would face export limits during trigger periods. The President may exempt specific exports if they are consistent with the national interest.
- Executive branch: The President can set terms and conditions and grant exemptions needed to carry out the law's purposes. The statute's definitions and the HTS 2710.12 classification determine when the prohibition applies.
