Bill Summary
A bill to amend the Clean Air Act to repeal the natural gas tax.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to completely eliminate Section 136 of the Clean Air Act, which currently establishes a methane emissions and waste reduction incentive program for petroleum and natural gas systems. Specifically, the bill would repeal the entire section of the law that deals with this program and rescind any remaining unobligated funds that were previously allocated to the program. The bill, formally titled the "Natural Gas Tax Repeal Act," effectively removes existing federal regulations and financial provisions related to methane emissions reduction in the natural gas industry. By rescinding the unobligated balance, the bill ensures that no previously allocated funds for this program can be spent, effectively dismantling both the regulatory framework and potential financial support for methane emissions reduction efforts in the petroleum and natural gas sectors.
