What this bill would do

This bill is called the Gas Money Saved Act. It tells the head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to start a process to look at corporate average fuel economy standards again. This happens if gas prices go up at least 5 times faster than overall inflation based on Bureau of Labor Statistics data over a certain time. The bill also changes certain civil penalties by replacing $0.00'' with $25'' and ``$50''.

Who it would affect, and how

Potential Positive Impacts for People

Section 2(a)(1) requires the Administrator to reevaluate corporate average fuel economy standards if national average gasoline prices rise at least 5 times faster than overall inflation. This could be positive because it forces a review when gas prices spike compared to general inflation.

Potential Negative Impacts for People

Section 2(b) changes penalties in section 32912 of title 49, United States Code, by replacing $0.00'' with $25'' and ``$50''. This could be seen as a negative burden because it brings back or increases monetary penalties for violations.
