By reinstating this test, the bill aims to promote transparency and accountability within the REIT industry. Overall, the "Restore the Taxable REIT Subsidiary Asset Test Act" is a measure designed to strengthen the regulations surrounding REITs and protect the integrity of the real estate investment market.
