Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to deny tax deductions for employer spending intended to influence employees about labor organizations or labor activities. It defines covered activities, lists examples (meetings, payments tied to unfair labor practice complaints, required disclosures), sets exceptions, requires employer and third‑party reporting, imposes penalties for noncompliance, and directs Treasury to issue implementing regulations.
Liberals emphasize worker protections and removing subsidies
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a focused and detailed statutory amendment to the Internal Revenue Code that defines a new nondeductible category, supplies definitions and exceptions, creates reporting and penalty mechanisms, and delegates rulemaking authority with a specific deadline.
