To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to establish a credit to incentivize the use of certain low-emission anesthetic gases by health care facilities, and for other purposes.

On 2026-10-09, Rep. Foushee (D-NC) introduced HR10778, which would amend the Internal Revenue Code to establish a tax credit for healthcare facilities that use low-emission anesthetic gases. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. As of the action history, there are no cosponsors and the bill is in early stage. The tax credit mechanism would reduce the cost for facilities to adopt lower-emission anesthetic gases, but the specific credit rate and eligible gases are not detailed in the provided text. Given the early legislative stage, lack of cosponsors, and the junior status of the sponsor, the bill faces significant hurdles before any potential enactment. No specific companies are directly impacted at this stage, as the credit would apply to end-users rather than manufacturers. The bill does not authorize any direct spending; it is a tax expenditure that would reduce federal revenue if enacted. The legislative path includes committee markup, House floor vote, Senate consideration, and potential reconciliation. The timeline for any action is uncertain and likely months to years away.
