Six U.S. Senators on Wednesday introduced the Gas Prices Relief Act, legislation to lower gas prices by temporarily suspending the federal gas tax.
“This is important legislation that will help us lower costs for Nevada families,” Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nevada) said in a statement. “I’m committed to finding solutions that bring our families some much-needed relief at the pump and help them get ahead.”
According to a news release from Senator Cortez Masto's office, the Gas Prices Relief Act will suspend the 18.4 cents per gallon federal gas tax until Jan. 1, 2023. The senator's office says the current national average for the cost of a gallon of gas is nearly one dollar higher than it was at the same time last year, according to AAA.
Along with Senator Cortez Masto, the legislation is sponsored by Senators Mark Kelly (D-Arizona), Maggie Hassan (D-New Hampshire), Debbie Stabenow (D-Michigan), Raphael Warnock (D-Georgia), and Jacky Rosen (D-Nevada).
