The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to create a new payment program for individuals who remove indelibly dyed diesel fuel or kerosene that has already had tax paid and is exempt from tax. It adds a new subsection (6433) that lets the Treasury Secretary pay those individuals an amount equal to the tax that would have been owed on the fuel. The changes apply to eligible dyed fuel removed after a 180‑day waiting period and affect fuel distributors, dyeing companies, and the IRS.

Sets the program’s effective date to 180 days after the law’s enactment.
