House May Vote on Bipartisan Tax Bill Next Week

House leadership took a step toward consideration of a bipartisan tax package on the floor next week. Notably, text for the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act — which passed the Ways and Means Committee with near-unanimous support at the markup last Friday — was posted to the schedule late yesterday under items that “may be under consideration” next week as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) continues his discussions with the GOP conference on how to proceed. If the speaker decides to move forward with a vote, the package is expected to come up under suspension of the rules, which requires a two-thirds majority voting in favor of expedited passage.
