Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committee on Rules, 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.
The D.C. Taxing Authority Review Act would require Congress to approve any new District of Columbia tax or fee before it can take effect. Under current law, D.C. tax laws automatically take effect after a 60-day review period unless Congress passes a resolution blocking them. This bill reverses that process, requiring Congress to pass an affirmative resolution approving D.C. tax measures within 60 days for them to become law. The legislation also limits floor debate on such resolutions to one hour total, split equally between supporters and opponents. The measure would apply to all D.C. tax acts transmitted to Congress after the bill's enactment.
