Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

The bill states that a carbon tax would be detrimental to American families and businesses.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If this bill were to become law, it would signal Congressional opposition to implementing a carbon tax. This could discourage policymakers from pursuing carbon pricing as a strategy to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Families and businesses would not face increased costs associated with a carbon tax, but the country may miss out on potential economic and environmental benefits of carbon pricing policies.
