introduced H.R. 8753, the Gas Tax Relief Act, legislation to help lower prices at the pump by temporarily suspending the federal gas tax
Temporarily suspend the federal gas tax for 90 days, with authority for the President to extend the suspension by up to 125 more days and restore it incrementally if economic conditions warrant.
Occurrences
Evidence
Representative Nicole Malliotakis announced H.R. 8753, the Gas Tax Relief Act, to temporarily suspend the federal gas tax for 90 days, with presidential authority to extend the suspension up to 125 additional days and to restore the tax incrementally if economic conditions warrant.
The Congressional Record lists H.R. 8753, introduced by Ms. Malliotakis and Mr. Miller of Ohio, as a bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code to provide a tax holiday for gasoline and diesel fuel and refer it to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Assessments
Malliotakis materially advanced the promise by introducing H.R. 8753, the Gas Tax Relief Act, in May 2026, matching the promised 90-day federal gas tax suspension with presidential extension and incremental restoration authority. However, the evidence only shows introduction and referral to the House Ways and Means Committee, not passage, enactment, or implementation of the tax suspension. Because the bill appears early-stage and not finally failed as of the provided context, the outcome is unresolved rather than delivered or never.
