Summary of Bill HR 1608
Bill 118 hr 1608, also known as the Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress.

Additionally, the bill aims to promote the use of renewable fuels and reduce the country's dependence on traditional fossil fuels. By expanding the availability of alternative fuels, the bill seeks to encourage the development and use of cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. Overall, the Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2023 is focused on increasing competition in the fuel market, providing consumers with more choices, and promoting the use of renewable fuels. If passed, this legislation could have a significant impact on the way fuel is bought and sold in the United States.
