This bill authorizes the Secretary of Defense to create a fuel discount program for military members and veterans who purchase motor fuel at military exchange stores. The discount would be at least 18.4 cents per gallon for gasoline and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel fuel, matching federal fuel tax rates, with the option to add additional discounts for state and local taxes. The program applies automatically at the point of sale for all eligible patrons purchasing fuel directly into their own vehicles and includes protections against fraud and commercial resale. The authority to operate this program expires on September 30, 2029, and the Department of Defense must report annually to Congress on program participation, costs, fuel volumes sold, and implementation issues.
