HR 3137 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.
Biodiesel Tax Credit Extension Act of 2025
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend the biodiesel fuels credit and the biodiesel mixture credit.
Summary
This bill extends federal tax credits for biodiesel, renewable diesel, biodiesel mixtures, and second-generation biofuels. The biodiesel and renewable diesel credit and biodiesel mixture credit would continue through 2026, and the alcohol fuel credit for second-generation biofuels would continue through January 1, 2027, rather than expiring sooner. The bill also prevents businesses from claiming both the older biofuel credits and a newer clean fuel production credit for the same fuel. These changes apply to fuel sold or used, or production occurring, after December 31, 2024.
