Ethanol and Biodiesel Promotion Act of 2003

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 108th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Ethanol and Biodiesel Promotion Act of 2003 - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow a tax credit equal to 50 percent (up to $50,000) of the basis of qualified vehicle refueling and business use property placed in service during the taxable year with respect to the retail sale, or business use, of E85 ethanol (any fuel at least 85 percent of which is ethanol) and neat biodiesel (diesel fuel at least 85 percent of which is produced from a non-petroleum substance).

Allows a business tax credit, determined according to a specified formula, for each gasoline gallon equivalent of E85 ethanol and neat biodiesel sold at retail by the taxpayer during such year as a fuel to propel any qualified motor vehicle.

Establishes a small ethanol producer credit by allowing a tax-exempt farmers' cooperative to allocate such a credit to its patrons on the basis of the quantity or value of business done with or for them for the taxable year.

Extends, through December 31, 2009, the application to qualified clean-fuel vehicle refueling property for E85 ethanol of the deduction from gross income for clean-fueled vehicles and certain refueling property.

Repeals the mandatory transfer into the Highway Trust Fund of amounts equivalent to the taxes on gasoline, diesel fuel, and kerosene and on certain vehicles.
