Bill Summary
The End Polluter Welfare Act of 2020 aims to eliminate subsidies and tax deductions for fossil fuel production in the United States. It includes amendments to various acts and codes, such as the Mineral Leasing Act and the Internal Revenue Code, to restrict and terminate these benefits. The legislation also calls for a study of additional subsidies and includes provisions for withholding financial assistance and loans to fossil fuel companies. It also includes a moratorium on oil and gas lease sales and coal leases, as well as limitations on the availability of funds for fossil fuel companies during a national emergency.
Possible Impacts
1. The End Polluter Welfare Act of 2020 will eliminate subsidies for fossil-fuel production, affecting fossil fuel companies and potentially leading to increased costs for consumers.
2. Taxpayers involved in the production and use of fossil fuels will be affected by changes to royalty rates and the elimination of certain tax deductions and credits related to fossil fuel activities.
3. The legislation imposes a tax on the removal price of crude oil and natural gas produced from federal submerged lands in the Gulf of Mexico, potentially increasing costs for oil and gas companies operating in the area.
