Bill 119 HR 371, also known as the "Taxpayer Protection and IRS Accountability Act," aims to prevent the hiring of any new employees at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) until the Secretary of the Treasury confirms that no current IRS employee has a seriously delinquent tax debt.
The bill is designed to ensure that those responsible for enforcing tax laws are themselves compliant with those laws. It seeks to hold IRS employees accountable for their own tax obligations and prevent individuals with outstanding tax debts from being hired or retained by the agency.
If passed, the bill would require the Secretary of the Treasury to certify that all current IRS employees are in good standing with their tax obligations before any new hires can be made. This measure is intended to promote transparency and accountability within the IRS and maintain public trust in the agency's ability to enforce tax laws fairly and effectively.
Overall, Bill 119 HR 371 seeks to uphold the integrity of the IRS by ensuring that its employees are held to the same standards of tax compliance as the American taxpayers they serve.
