Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
H.Res. 628 is a ceremonial resolution that commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), a federal policy established in 2005 and expanded in 2007 that requires increasing amounts of renewable fuels to be blended into the nation's fuel supply. The resolution recognizes the RFS's role in advancing energy security, supporting rural economies, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, noting that the policy has spurred billions in private investment and created nearly 644,000 jobs across more than 2,700 renewable fuel facilities nationwide. According to the resolution, the RFS has enabled ethanol producers to supply over 98 percent of gasoline with at least 10 percent ethanol content, reduced consumer fuel prices, and contributed $210 billion to the economy in 2023. The resolution does not authorize any new spending or programs; rather, it expresses the House's support for the continued implementation of the RFS to achieve energy independence, economic growth, and environmental objectives.
