Summary of Bill S 1224

Bill 119 s 1224, also known as the "Firearm Transfer Tax Repeal Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 by repealing the firearm transfer tax.

It is likely that these additional provisions are related to firearms or taxation in some way. Overall, Bill 119 s 1224 is a straightforward piece of legislation that seeks to eliminate the firearm transfer tax and potentially address other related issues.
