House Favors Gag Rule On Tax Vote
House leaders discussed recommending nine gag rules to speed a 334 page tax revision bill. The measure, debated Thursday, covers broad revenue proposals and could limit amendments. A gag rule would restrict debate to 12 hours or ban amendments except ways and means and would curb pet tax schemes. The bill also creates a tax board and proposes changes to undistributed profits and capital gains taxes including a surtax on large corporations.
