ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS
S. Rpt. 119-8 accompanies tax legislation related to federal tax provisions. Tax bills modify the Internal Revenue Code — the federal tax statute — either by creating new provisions, extending expiring ones, or changing existing rules that affect individuals, businesses, or specific industries. The Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee prepared this report to explain the tax changes, estimate their revenue impact (how much they cost or raise), and describe who is affected. Tax reports are technical documents that include detailed analysis from the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) and often reveal the policy priorities driving tax changes.
