Bill information

Summary

A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend the exemption from the excise tax on alternative motorboat fuels sold as supplies for vessels or aircraft to include certain vessels serving only one coast.

Plain-language summary

This bill would expand tax breaks on alternative fuels used in boats and aircraft. Currently, certain vessels can buy these special fuels without paying federal excise taxes (extra charges added to fuel). The bill extends this exemption to include vessels that operate on only one U.S. coast. The bill was recently introduced in Congress and has bipartisan sponsorship from senators including two from Alaska and two from other states.
