Ways and Means Chairman releases text and schedules markup of bipartisan tax legislation

Read text of the bill—H.R. 7024 [PDF 220 KB] (82 pages)
The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) released a description and estimated revenue effects of the bill.
Chairman Smith also scheduled a committee markup of H.R. 7024 for tomorrow, January 19, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. ET. In anticipation of the markup, he released an Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute [PDF 212 KB] today.
Next steps
The next step is for the legislation to be considered in the Ways and Means Committee markup tomorrow morning. Assuming the legislation is approved in committee, the full House could then consider the legislation. It is possible the bill will move in the House under the rules of “suspension,” which would require a two-thirds vote (rather than simple majority) to advance to the Senate for consideration in that body.
