No Track No Tax Act of 2025

# No Track No Tax Act of 2025 (HR 781) Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would prevent the federal government from spending money on any mileage-based tax system—a tax that charges drivers based on how many miles they drive rather than how much fuel they buy. The prohibition would apply to federal funding for studying, creating, or enforcing such taxes at the state, local, or federal level. It would also block funding for programs that track vehicle mileage for tax purposes. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill primarily affects federal agencies that might otherwise fund mileage tax research or pilot programs, as well as states considering alternative transportation funding methods.

Supporters argue it protects drivers from new surveillance-based taxes, while opponents might note that mileage taxes are sometimes proposed as alternatives to traditional gas taxes, particularly as electric vehicles reduce gas tax revenue. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.
