Rising gas prices, driven by U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran since February 2026, have prompted President Trump and members of Congress to advance proposals for temporarily suspending the 18.4-cent-per-gallon federal excise tax on gasoline. In the 119th Congress, lawmakers have introduced multiple bills, including the Gas Prices Relief Act and the Gas Tax Suspension Act, with versions calling for 90-day pauses or extensions through October 1, 2026, while directing savings to consumers and protecting Highway Trust Fund revenue. These measures require congressional passage and presidential signature, as the executive branch cannot unilaterally alter the tax rate. Historical precedent shows Congress has never enacted such a suspension, and ongoing deliberations focus on revenue impacts for infrastructure alongside short-term relief at the pump.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if legislation that would, at least temporarily, suspend the federal excise tax on gasoline is passed by both chambers of the U.S. Congress and signed into law by the specified date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
Qualifying legislation may include joint resolutions and must pass both the House and the Senate, and must be signed by the President, become law without signature while Congress remains in session, or become law through veto override. Presidential pocket vetoes that expire will not qualify.
The primary resolution sources for this market will be Congress.gov’s legislation tracker (https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22), the Library of Congress (congress.gov), and other official information from the government of the United States; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
