Summary:
This bill modifies the process for repaying service members and veterans who paid to keep benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill, but later chose to utilize Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits. Specifically, the bill removes the requirement for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to issue the repayments with the last monthly housing stipend under the Post-9/11 GI Bill. This requirement has limited the repayments to individuals who are receiving stipends. Under the bill, the VA must make such a repayment before the exhaustion of the individual's entitlement to education assistance.

                    IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

  To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to eliminate lead oxide, 
 antimony, and sulfuric acid as taxable chemicals under the Superfund 
                             excise taxes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``USA Batteries Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Superfund fee established in Public Law 117-58 
        makes American manufacturing less competitive by imposing a tax 
        on chemicals used in domestic battery production that is not 
        levied on imported batteries.
            (2) America's lead battery industry has a $23.6 billion 
        domestic economic impact annually and creates more than 25,000 
        direct jobs in 38 States.
            (3) Lead batteries have a 99 percent recycling rate and are 
        a truly sustainable energy storage technology.
            (4) Lead batteries are critical for many sectors, including 
        defense, transportation, logistics, telecommunications, and 
        energy generation.
            (5) Increased taxes on domestic production create a 
        disadvantage for American manufacturers and reduce the global 
        competitiveness of the domestic lead battery industry by 
        increasing the costs of key raw materials.

SEC. 3. ELIMINATION OF LEAD OXIDE, ANTIMONY, AND SULFURIC ACID AS 
              TAXABLE CHEMICALS UNDER SUPERFUND EXCISE TAXES.

    The table in section 4661(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 
as amended by Public Law 117-58, is amended by striking the rows 
relating to lead oxide, antimony, and sulfuric acid.
