Bill overview
The USA Batteries Act aims to level the playing field for American lead battery manufacturers by eliminating taxes on chemicals used in their production under the Superfund excise tax. Currently, domestic manufacturers face a tax on chemicals like lead oxide, antimony, and sulfuric acid that are not applied to imported batteries. This bill seeks to remove these taxes, recognizing the significant economic impact and job creation within the U.S. lead battery industry and its importance for various sectors. It’s intended to boost the competitiveness of American battery production and promote the industry’s sustainability.
