The bill, briefly

Modern, Clean, and Safe Trucks Act of 2025 This bill repeals the 12% federal excise tax imposed on the first retail sale of certain heavy trucks, trailers, and tractors that generally are used on the highway. As background, a 12% federal excise tax is imposed on the sale price (of the first retail sale) of truck bodies and chassis suitable for use with a vehicle having a gross vehicle weight of over 33,000 pounds; truck trailer and semitrailer bodies and chassis suitable for use with a vehicle having a gross vehicle weight over 26,000 pounds; and tractors that are generally used for highway transportation in combination with a trailer or semitrailer, have a gross vehicle weight over 19,500 pounds, and have a gross combined weight of greater than 33,000 pounds.
