House Uses Tax Day To Pass Bills To Rein In IRS Abuse
The House forwarded eight bills to the Senate on Tax Day, seven by voice vote and one 424 to 0, aimed at curbing IRS abuses. It includes a measure requiring federal contractors to certify no seriously delinquent tax debt, while a separate bill to bar federal workers with such debt failed 266 to 160 under a two thirds rule. House Republicans say reforms increase transparency, with IRS Commissioner John Koskinen defending agency steps and noting IG recommendations addressed.
