undefinedHR Bill 1152 Electronic Filing and Payment Fairness ActUpdated 4 days ago
Purpose and Summary
Chamber: House
Introduced date: 2025-02-10
Bill 119 HR 1152, also known as the Electronic Filing and Payment Fairness Act, aims to streamline and modernize the process of filing and paying taxes...
for individuals and businesses. The bill proposes to require the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to provide electronic filing and payment options for all tax forms, including those that are currently only available in paper form. The bill also seeks to ensure that taxpayers are not penalized for using electronic filing and payment methods, by prohibiting the IRS from charging additional fees for these services. Additionally, the bill includes provisions to protect taxpayer information and ensure the security of electronic transactions. Supporters of the bill argue that electronic filing and payment options can save time and money for both taxpayers and the IRS, while also reducing the risk of errors and fraud. They believe that making these options more accessible and user-friendly will encourage more taxpayers to take advantage of them. Opponents of the bill may argue that implementing electronic filing and payment systems could be costly and time-consuming for the IRS, and that some taxpayers may prefer to continue using paper forms. However, proponents of the bill maintain that the long-term benefits of modernizing the tax filing process outweigh any initial challenges. Overall, the Electronic Filing and Payment Fairness Act aims to make the tax filing process more efficient, convenient, and secure for all taxpayers, while also bringing the IRS into the digital age.

Bill 119 hjres 82 is a piece of legislation that aims to disapprove of the action taken by the District of Columbia Council in approving the Insurance ...
Regulation Amendment Act of 2024. The bill was introduced in response to concerns about the potential impact of the Insurance Regulation Amendment Act on the insurance industry in the District of Columbia. The Insurance Regulation Amendment Act of 2024 was passed by the District of Columbia Council with the goal of making changes to the regulation of insurance companies operating in the District. However, some members of Congress believe that the Act could have negative consequences for the insurance industry, potentially leading to increased costs for consumers and reduced competition among insurance providers. If Bill 119 hjres 82 is passed, it would effectively nullify the Insurance Regulation Amendment Act of 2024, preventing it from being implemented in the District of Columbia. This would allow for further discussion and potential revisions to the Act before any changes are made to the regulation of insurance companies in the District. Overall, Bill 119 hjres 82 is a response to concerns about the potential impact of the Insurance Regulation Amendment Act of 2024 on the insurance industry in the District of Columbia. It seeks to disapprove of the Act and prevent it from being implemented until further discussion and potential revisions can take place.
