On Tuesday afternoon, May 13, the Ways and Means Committee (“Committee”) started its markup of the tax title for the FY2025 budget reconciliation bill. The Committee favorably reported the bill on Wednesday morning, May 14, by a party-line vote of 26-19. During the markup, 38 Democratic-supported amendments were offered, but none were adopted.
The Committee’s tax title goes next to the House Budget Committee, which is responsible for consolidating the legislative packages reported by the other House committees with instructions under the budget resolution. The Budget Committee is expected to hold a markup later this week to approve the consolidated reconciliation bill, with no amendments permitted. The final package will then go before the House Rules Committee and is expected to come before the House for final passage next week.
