HR Bill 2438 Foster Care Tax Credit ActUpdated 3 days ago
Purpose and Summary
Chamber: House
Introduced date: 2025-03-27
Bill 119 HR 2438, also known as the Foster Family Tax Credit Act, aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide a refundable tax credit fo...
r foster families. The bill seeks to support and incentivize individuals and families who open their homes to foster children by providing financial assistance through a tax credit. The tax credit would be refundable, meaning that even if a foster family does not owe any federal income tax, they would still receive the full amount of the credit as a refund. This would help alleviate some of the financial burden that comes with caring for foster children and encourage more families to consider becoming foster parents. In addition to the tax credit for foster families, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to foster care. These may include additional support services, resources, or incentives to further assist foster families in providing a safe and nurturing environment for the children in their care. Overall, the Foster Family Tax Credit Act aims to recognize and support the important role that foster families play in providing stability and care for children in need. By providing financial assistance through a refundable tax credit, the bill seeks to encourage more individuals and families to consider becoming foster parents and help improve outcomes for children in the foster care system.

Bill 119 hjres 88 is a piece of legislation that seeks to express congressional disapproval of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency ...
(EPA) regarding California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards. The rule in question pertains to "Advanced Clean Cars II," which includes provisions for a waiver of preemption and a notice of decision. The EPA's rule aims to allow California to set its own emissions standards for motor vehicles, which are more stringent than the federal standards set by the Clean Air Act. This waiver of preemption would give California the authority to enforce its own regulations, rather than being subject to federal regulations. The bill, if passed, would effectively nullify the EPA's rule and prevent California from implementing its own emissions standards. Supporters of the bill argue that having separate state and federal regulations creates confusion for automakers and consumers, and that a uniform national standard is necessary for the automotive industry. Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, believe that California should have the right to set its own emissions standards in order to combat air pollution and address climate change. They argue that states should have the flexibility to implement stricter regulations if they believe it is necessary for the health and well-being of their residents. Overall, Bill 119 hjres 88 is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate between states' rights and federal regulations when it comes to environmental policy.
