Legislation of the 119th Congress

This package delivers sizable tax relief, defense/industrial and targeted domestic investments while tightening immigration and benefit rules and expanding fossil fuel development — producing near‑term financial and program gains for many Americans at the cost of higher federal spending, greater compliance burdens, and increased risks to climate, coverage, and immigrant access.

1. house
3. senate
5. president

The bill increases take-home pay for many tipped workers and lowers payroll-tax costs for some small employers by clarifying and expanding tip-related tax benefits, at the cost of reduced federal/payroll revenues, added compliance burdens, and risks of limited wage growth or misuse by employers.

1. senate
3. house
5. president

The bill reduces federal spending on gender‑affirming care and aligns Exchange offerings with that restriction, saving some federal dollars and preserving employer flexibility to offer unsubsidized benefits, but it substantially reduces subsidized access to transition-related care, raises costs for affected individuals and insurers, shifts costs to states and private payers, and creates equity and administrative burdens.

1. senate
3. house
5. president

The bill provides targeted, refundable rental relief (including utilities and monthly advance payments) to lower-income renters and extra support in high-cost areas, but it increases federal spending, creates repayment/reconciliation risks for advance payments, excludes the very highest rent amounts, and adds administrative complexity that may delay or unevenly distribute benefits.

1. senate
3. house
5. president

The bill lets farmland sellers defer immediate capital gains tax by rolling proceeds into IRAs and offers narrow safe harbors, but it creates a lengthy (10-year) recapture exposure with personal liability, reduces concurrent IRA deduction benefits, and extends audit risk.

1. senate
3. house
5. president

1. senate
3. house
5. president

1. senate
3. house
5. president

The bill increases tax-based support for dependent and household care—boosting refundable credits, expanding employer incentives, and raising exclusions to lower out-of-pocket costs and encourage work—while shifting costs to the federal budget, concentrating some benefits among larger employers and higher-income employees, and adding administrative and eligibility burdens that may exclude informal caregivers.

1. senate
3. house
5. president

The bill encourages more and cheaper lending for rural housing, agriculture, and aquaculture by exempting certain lenders' interest income, but it reduces federal revenue, favors specified lenders, and risks credit distortions and added compliance complexity for loans with foreign ties.

1. senate
3. house

1. senate
3. house
5. president

The bill makes employer student-loan repayments permanently tax-free—boosting take-home pay and making such benefits more attractive for employers—at the cost of reduced federal revenue and a risk that wealthier workers capture a disproportionate share of the benefit.

1. senate
3. house
5. president

1. senate
3. house
5. president

The bill steers tax incentives and regulatory relief to encourage domestic vehicle production and improve benefits for some auto workers and manufacturers, but does so by weakening or constraining stronger emissions and efficiency rules—trading near-term cost savings and onshoring gains for higher long-term pollution, health impacts, fiscal costs, and competitive pressure favoring larger firms.

1. senate
3. house
5. president

The bill increases and accelerates tax-favored treatment for qualifying small-business stock—boosting liquidity and incentives for startup investment and clarifying some S‑corp rules—while trading off substantial revenue loss, greater complexity, and unequal treatment between pre- and post-enactment holders.

1. senate
3. house
5. president

1. senate
3. house
5. president

The bill steers more private capital into preserving and building affordable rural housing by raising and monetizing rehab tax credits and protecting tax basis, but it reduces federal revenue, adds compliance and administrative complexity, and creates limits and uneven tax treatment that may constrain or distort some projects.

1. senate
3. house
5. president

1. senate
3. house
5. president

The bill trades reduced federal and state spending and clearer, narrower eligibility rules for significant cuts in benefits and services for many lawfully present and other noncitizen residents—raising health, nutrition, housing, education, and administrative burdens that affect immigrants, mixed‑status families, providers, and communities.

1. senate
3. house
5. president

The bill reduces upfront flood-insurance burdens and targets credits to lower-income homeowners by advancing up to 33% of premiums, but it increases federal costs and administrative complexity while still leaving many low-income homeowners responsible for unaffordable remaining premiums.

1. senate
3. house
5. president

1. senate
3. house
5. president

1. senate
3. house

1. senate
3. house

The bill expands and funds kinship-based childcare and clarifies some tax rules, giving families more choice, but shifts support toward parent‑directed vouchers, reduces oversight for in‑home relative care, and eliminates an existing dependent care tax credit—raising costs and administrative burdens for many families and states.

1. senate
3. house
5. president

1. senate
3. house
5. president

1. senate
3. house
5. president

3. house
5. president
