What it does
The bill bans the export of diesel fuel from the United States. The ban would start right away and end on December 31, 2026. The goal is to keep more diesel in the country for American use.
Who it affects
People and businesses in the U.S. that buy diesel fuel could see lower or steadier prices. Companies that refine diesel would lose money from selling it overseas.
One thing to notice
The ban ends in about three and a half months from introduction. This suggests it is a short-term step, not a long-term rule.
