Latest action on H.R. 3338: Referred to the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects energy producers, large industrial companies, importers, exporters, construction workers on federally funded projects, states, low-income households, and workers tied to fossil fuel or qualifying nuclear energy jobs. Consumers could also feel indirect price changes, but the bill does not say exactly how prices would change.

Why this matters: This bill would change how the federal government pays for transportation and some climate work. Today, federal fuel taxes help fund roads and aviation programs. This bill would instead collect money based on greenhouse gas pollution. That could push cleaner choices and raise costs for some energy and goods. It also trades some EPA climate rules for a carbon tax approach, at least for a period of time.

Key provisions in H.R. 3338

• The bill creates a new federal tax on greenhouse gas pollution. It applies to fossil fuels, large industrial sources in named sectors, and some non-fossil products. The tax starts at $40 per metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2027 and rises each year by inflation plus 5 percentage points.
• The tax could go up faster if emissions are too high. The Treasury Secretary and EPA Administrator must add another $4 per ton in later years if total emissions exceed the bill's limits for certain time periods.
• Companies can get refunds when taxed fuel does not release greenhouse gases. They can also get refunds when emissions are permanently captured and stored underground, including some enhanced oil recovery if storage rules are met.
• A covered party that does not pay faces a steep penalty. The penalty equals three times the tax amount that applied in the year of the violation.
• The bill adds a carbon charge to some imports and gives rebates for some exports. The system is based on the greenhouse gas emissions built into those goods. It exempts least developed countries and some countries with low emissions and low production.
