HR 310 Introduced Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Restoring Energy Market Freedom Act
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal certain credits.
Summary
The bill repeals multiple tax credits in the Internal Revenue Code, including those related to energy production and investment. Specifically, it eliminates sections 45, 45J, 45Q, 45U, 45V, 45X, 45Y, and sections 48 through 48E, which previously provided credits for activities such as electricity production from certain sources, carbon oxide sequestration, clean fuel production, clean electricity production, and energy property investments. The bill also makes conforming amendments to related provisions of the tax code to account for the repealed sections. The changes apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024. Various entities, including tax-exempt organizations and government entities, are affected by the removal of election provisions related to these credits.
