On April 29, 2019, Representatives Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) and Collin Peterson (D-MN) introduced H.R. 2381, the “Modern, Clean, and Safe Trucks Act of 2019,” which would repeal the 12% Federal Excise Tax (FET) on the sale price of new heavy-duty trucks, and trailers. LaMalfa and Peterson were joined by Representatives Greg Pence (R-IN), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), and Tom O’Halleran (D-AZ) as original cosponsors of the bill. TRALA, along with other members of the Modernize the Truck Fleet Coalition, have been meeting with House Democrats and Republicans for months to build bipartisan support for the repeal of the FET, and TRALA is pleased that several Members agreed to be original cosponsors of H.R. 2381.
