Support suspending the diesel tax until January 1, 2027.
Occurrences
Evidence
Davis said he and Rep. Eugene Vindman support H.R. 8772, the Diesel Prices Relief Act, and stated the measure would pause the federal diesel tax until January 1, 2027.
GovInfo's Congressional Record Index entry identifies H.R. 8772 as the Diesel Prices Relief Act in the 119th Congress, 2nd Session.
Assessments
Davis publicly supported H.R. 8772, the Diesel Prices Relief Act, which matched the promise to suspend the federal diesel tax until January 1, 2027. However, the evidence only shows a live legislative effort and public backing in the same federal term, not enactment or an actual suspension of the tax. Because the promised policy outcome had not been delivered, but Davis made a serious legislative/public effort toward it, this should be scored as never with an effort badge.
