No Taxes on Utility Bills Act
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow the deduction of taxes and State-mandated surcharges included on gas or electric utility bills.
HB8350 proposes to change the Internal Revenue Code to let people deduct taxes and certain extra charges on their gas and electric bills from their federal taxes. This means that instead of paying these extra costs directly to the government, they could reduce their overall tax bill by claiming these amounts as deductions. The bill would affect anyone who pays gas or electric bills, potentially lowering their federal tax burden.
The bill was introduced on April 16, 2026, and it was immediately referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. This committee will review the bill, hold hearings if necessary, and decide whether to send it to the full House for a vote. If passed by the House, it would then move to the Senate for further consideration.
As of now, HB8350 is in its early stages. It was introduced and referred to the appropriate committee on the same day, April 16, 2026. Future steps will depend on the committee's recommendations and the legislative calendar. The bill has bipartisan support, with sponsors from both the Republican and Democratic parties.
