Legislative Round-Up | May 2023

— the House Ways and Means Committee, which has the responsibility for raising the revenue required to finance the Federal Government, including individual and corporate income taxes, excise taxes, estate taxes, gift taxes, and other miscellaneous taxes. The fourth original cosponsor, Representative Pappas, while not on the Ways & Means Committee, has been a determined advocate for the legislation.

Another positive aspect of this bill is that, unlike last year’s Universal Charitable legislation which would have been in effect for only one year, this year’s legislation will cover two years – 2023 and 2024.

Turning to the Senate side with S. 566, the number of cosponsors continues to grow, with 16 of the chamber’s 100 Senators signing onto the bill. TNPA expects this number to grow, and we will continue our efforts in working closely with our two Senate champions – Senators Lankford and Coons. TNPA feels confident that S. 566 will ultimately exceed the number of cosponsors of last year’s legislation which had 19 Senators.

During our Virtual Capitol Hill Day on April 19, TNPA members met with the staff of Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) and just a week later, on April 26, Senator Casey signed onto the bill.

Our next Capitol Hill Day — our first in-person Hill Day since COVID — will be on Wednesday, July 19. If you are interested in joining us that day, see below to read more and register. The Universal Charitable Deduction will be one of the important topics we will raise that day on Capitol Hill. With the Universal Charitable Deduction of $600 for married couples filing jointly and $300 for individual taxpayers having expired on December 31, 2021, enactment of the Charitable Act is a top priority for TNPA.
