Bill > HR1486

This bill, known as the No Carbon Tax Act of 2013, explicitly forbids the Secretary of the Treasury and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from creating or putting into effect a "carbon tax." A carbon tax is defined in the bill as any tax, fee, or price imposed on emissions, specifically including carbon dioxide emissions that result from burning fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, or oil. It also covers taxes, fees, or prices placed on these fossil fuels themselves, calculated based on the amount of carbon dioxide emissions they would produce when burned.
