Rep. Miller (WV-R) introduced; Ways and Means Committee.
In committee, no House vote yet
The bill proposes to extend the period during which facilities can claim federal tax credits for producing refined coal, changing the previous 10-year limit to a new deadline of January 1, 2033. It also clarifies tax rules for modifications to facilities that produce steel industry fuel. Representative Carol Miller, a Republican from West Virginia, introduced this bill, which has been referred to the House Ways and Means Committee for review, handling tax-related legislation. It awaits committee consideration before it can move forward.
Introduced Jan 14, 2026
This bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. For it to become law, the committee must first approve it. If passed by the committee, it would then need to be voted on and passed by the full House. Subsequently, it would proceed to the Senate for their review and vote, and finally, if passed by both chambers, to the President for signature.
If enacted, businesses involved in producing refined coal could continue to benefit from federal tax credits for several more years, specifically until January 1, 2033. This extension might influence their operational decisions and investment in refined coal production and potentially the energy market. Additionally, facilities that modify their operations to produce steel industry fuel could have clearer guidelines regarding their eligibility for these tax credits under the new provisions.
