Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
BARCODE Efficiency Act
The bill modernizes IRS processing by converting paper returns to electronic records—speeding processing, improving recordkeeping, and enabling oversight—while introducing risks of OCR errors, upfront implementation costs, and some new compliance burdens for taxpayers.
HONOR Act
The bill strengthens sanction-aligned tax policy and simplifies enforcement by denying U.S. tax benefits for Russian-government taxes, but it shifts increased tax burdens onto U.S. companies and potentially consumers and raises legal and treaty-reciprocity risks for multinational taxpayers.
Protecting Prudent Investment of Retirement Savings Act
The bill tightens fiduciary rules and increases transparency to prioritize pecuniary return and reduce conflicts—benefiting many savers and oversight—while imposing new compliance burdens, limiting default ESG exposure and some engagement tools, and introducing friction for self-directed investors.
Fair and Accountable IRS Reviews Act
Requiring supervisors to personally sign off on IRS penalty determinations aims to reduce wrongful penalties and improve accountability, but it may slow processing, increase agency workload and costs, and could be ineffective if approvals are routinely rubber‑stamped.
Stop Predatory Investing Act
The bill aims to curb perceived tax-avoidance in large or aggregated single-family rental ownership while protecting sales to owner-occupiers and nonprofits, trading broader reductions in rental tax benefits and increased compliance burdens for potential gains in tax fairness and targeted affordability preservation.
Amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to treat membership in a health care sharing ministry as a medical expense, and for other purposes.
The bill gives tax relief and clearer tax status to members and operators of health care sharing ministries, but it risks encouraging underinsurance, weakening consumer protections, and reducing federal revenue.
America First Act
The bill tightens and clarifies benefit eligibility to reduce federal spending and improper payments by excluding many non‑citizen categories, but does so at the cost of removing health, nutrition, housing, education, and tax supports from large numbers of lawfully present and mixed‑status families—raising public‑health, child‑well‑being, housing instability, and administrative burdens across federal, state, and local systems.
FENCE Act
The bill strengthens IRS authority to enforce tax-exempt rules (protecting organizations that avoid aiding undocumented immigration) but does so at the cost of higher compliance burdens for charities, reduced humanitarian services for undocumented people, and increased due-process concerns for beneficiaries.
Wildfire Victim Tax Relief and Recovery Act
The bill provides targeted tax relief and clearer tax rules for Texas Panhandle fire survivors and affected agricultural owners—boosting net disaster recoveries and reducing uncertainty—at the cost of reduced near-term federal revenue, narrower coverage that may produce unequal treatment, and added compliance complexity for taxpayers and administrators.
Amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to maintain the prohibition on allowing any deduction or credit associated with a trade or business involved in trafficking marijuana.
The bill clarifies and tightens federal tax rules to prevent non-cannabis taxpayers from subsidizing marijuana businesses, but it raises tax burdens and compliance friction for state-legal cannabis operators, risking market exits, informal cash operations, and reduced access to credit.
Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians Water Rights Settlement Act
The bill secures substantial, enforceable water rights, land‑into‑trust status, and hundreds of millions in federal funding for the Agua Caliente Tribe—providing legal certainty and infrastructure resources—while trading away broad future claims, shifting regional water and tax authority, increasing federal spending, and creating environmental, fiscal, and legal trade‑offs for non‑tribal stakeholders and the Tribe itself.
GRATS Act
The bill tightens and clarifies grantor‑trust and GRAT rules to close avoidance pathways and raise revenue, but it increases tax exposure, compliance costs, and estate‑planning constraints for many trust owners and donors.
PPLI Abuse Act
The bill increases tax clarity and IRS visibility into private placement contracts (helping accurate taxation) but does so by shifting tax treatment toward ordinary income, imposing large compliance burdens and penalties, and raising risks and costs for issuers and many contract holders.
Retirement Fairness for Charities and Educational Institutions Act of 2025
The bill clarifies and reduces compliance costs for many 403(b) plans and strengthens plan‑level fiduciary review, but does so by reducing securities‑law registration and SEC oversight, shifting risk to participants, increasing employer fiduciary burden, and creating potential regulatory fragmentation.
SHIELD Act
The bill expands funded legal representation and builds nonprofit and governmental capacity to serve immigrants in removal proceedings—improving access and accountability—while increasing federal spending and imposing eligibility, reporting, and administrative requirements that may strain small providers and leave some people or local entities unintentionally excluded.
Rental Housing Investment Act
The bill offers substantial up-front tax relief and stronger incentives to create or preserve low-income rental housing for property owners, at the cost of reduced near-term federal revenue and potential future tax liabilities and reduced flexibility for those owners.
American Dream Accounts Act of 2026
Creates a new tax-advantaged savings vehicle with Roth rollover benefits and clearer reporting rules that can expand tax-preferred saving for many Americans, while imposing new penalties, compliance burdens, transaction restrictions, and some planning uncertainty.
Tribal Police Department Parity Act
The bill extends federal firearms transfer and tax exemptions to tribal governments—advancing parity and lowering costs for tribal law enforcement—while reducing some federal oversight uniformity and producing a modest loss of Treasury revenue.
SPONSOR Act
The bill increases donor confidence and encourages stronger nonprofit oversight but does so by raising liability, compliance burdens, and legal uncertainty that may reduce fiscal sponsorship availability and chill funding for lawful protest-related activities.
MINT Act
The bill restores FHLB letters-of-credit and liquidity support for tax-exempt bond markets—lowering borrowing costs and increasing financing flexibility—while shifting key safety-and-soundness judgment to the FHFA Director, which raises uncertainty and potential taxpayer and small-issuer risk if standards are relaxed.
Protect America Act
This bill increases immigration enforcement powers, penalties, and protections for federal officials and victims while tying federal funding and legal liability to local cooperation—strengthening deterrence and accountability but expanding detention, fines, executive authority, and risks to civil liberties, local budgets, nonprofits, and immigrant communities.
Balance the Highway Trust Fund Act
The bill tightens fiscal discipline by tying annual highway and transit obligations to Treasury receipt estimates—protecting taxpayers and moving funds to projects that can be spent quickly—but at the cost of increased risk that infrastructure and transit projects will be delayed, unevenly distributed, and harder for local governments and contractors to plan around.
NO GOTION Act
The bill prioritizes preventing taxpayer-funded tax incentives from benefiting firms tied to foreign adversaries and strengthens Treasury enforcement authority, but does so at the cost of increased compliance uncertainty for U.S. companies, potential loss of incentives that could slow projects (especially in energy), reduced foreign investment, and added administrative burden.
Amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to terminate the tax-exempt status of terrorist supporting organizations.
The bill strengthens tools to cut off tax advantages for organizations tied to terrorism and adds procedural notice, but does so in a way that can immediately and substantially harm charities, concentrates designation power in the executive branch, and raises due‑process and overbreadth risks for legitimate nonprofit activity.
Investing in American Workers Act
The bill encourages employer-funded upskilling—especially for low-paid workers—by providing a targeted tax credit and simpler filing for small firms, but it reduces federal revenue and introduces compliance, equity, and coverage limits that may blunt or unevenly distribute its benefits.
No Tax Exemptions For Terror Act
The bill removes federal tax benefits for CAIR and clarifies IRS enforcement—reducing indirect public subsidy and administrative uncertainty but risking lost services, reduced donor support, and civil‑liberties concerns by singling out one organization.
Cannabinoid Safety and Regulation Act
The bill strengthens federal safety standards, research, and funding to reduce cannabis-related harms and standardize oversight, but it imposes new regulatory requirements, enforcement powers, and fiscal costs that raise burdens on small businesses, taxpayers, and some communities while risking regulatory uncertainty and uneven legal outcomes.
SHUSH Act
This bill reduces federal regulatory, tax, and oversight burdens for silencer owners and manufacturers and simplifies administration, but it does so at the cost of weaker tracking, consumer‑safety oversight, local regulatory authority, and increased risks to public safety and law‑enforcement operations.
HUSTLE Act
The bill increases protections, transparency, and court access for student-athletes and clarifies tax treatment for NIL income, but it also raises compliance costs, litigation exposure, and the risk that fee caps and new registration rules will reduce agent availability and impose costs on institutions and taxpayers.
Expanding Access to Affordable Drugs and Medical Devices Act
The bill aims to lower prices and secure emergency supplies by enabling tax-exempt nonprofit manufacturers that must prioritize affordability, but those benefits could be limited by reduced financing/supply options, higher compliance costs, potential tax revenue loss, and regulatory uncertainty.
