Stop EU Overreach Act
The bill gives the U.S. government stronger authority, transparency, and tools to push back on foreign extraterritorial regulations—potentially protecting U.S. firms and sovereignty—but at the cost of increased trade tensions, possible higher consumer prices, environmental risks, and added compliance and administrative burdens.

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to eliminate the dollar limitations on the exclusion of gain from sales of principal residences, and for other purposes.
