Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Bill 119 HR 781, also known as the "Mileage Tax Prohibition Act," aims to prevent the use of Federal funds for the study, proposal, establishment, implementation, or enforcement of any mileage tax. This includes funding for a mileage tracking program. The bill seeks to protect taxpayers from potential additional financial burdens that could result from a mileage tax.

If passed, this legislation would effectively block any government efforts to explore or enact a mileage tax system that would require individuals to pay taxes based on the number of miles they drive. Proponents of the bill argue that such a tax would disproportionately impact low-income individuals and those who live in rural areas where driving long distances is often a necessity.

The bill is intended to ensure that Federal funds are not used to infringe on the privacy of individuals by tracking their mileage or to impose additional taxes on drivers. It is a response to concerns about the potential negative impacts of a mileage tax on American taxpayers. Overall, Bill 119 HR 781 seeks to protect individuals from potential financial burdens and privacy concerns associated with a mileage tax system, by prohibiting the use of Federal funds for such purposes.
