S 1938 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify the cover over of certain distilled spirits taxes.

This bill modifies U.S. tax rules for distilled spirits, specifically affecting Puerto Rico. It repeals a previous restriction on redirecting taxes collected from rum imported into the U.S. back to Puerto Rico, and requires Puerto Rico to transfer a portion of those rum tax revenues to the Puerto Rico Conservation Trust Fund. The transfer amount equals at least 1/6 of the difference between $10.50 per proof gallon and the actual tax rate (capped at $13.25 per gallon). The fund, established in 1968, uses these funds for conservation efforts like protecting natural areas and restoring habitats in Puerto Rico.
