CLEAR Skies Act

This bill would change the federal tax code to encourage unleaded aviation fuel. It creates a new “aviation gasoline credit” for producing aviation gasoline that has no tetra‑ethyl‑lead, signaling a push to cut lead exposure by moving away from leaded avgas. The credit would be placed in a new section of the tax code (Sec. 45BB), focused on unleaded aviation gasoline production.
