What this amendment would do
Submitted by Ms. Baldwin, this amendment introduces a new requirement for the Joint Committee on Taxation when dealing with major legislation.
- It defines what major legislation means, which includes certain big bills, resolutions, conference reports, amendments, and treaties that have a massive financial impact or are specifically designated by certain committee chairmen.
- It adds a rule requiring estimates provided by the Joint Committee on Taxation to the Director of the Congressional Budget Office to include an estimate of the distributional effects across income categories.
In short, this is about making sure our elected officials know how big financial proposals will actually spread their effects across different income groups before things move forward.
