On Friday, Sept. 10, House Ways and Means Committee Chair Richard Neal (D-MA) released the second tranche of the panel’s recommendations for budget reconciliation—the package through which Democrats aim to enact policies in President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better legislative agenda.

Last week, the committee approved five subtitles addressing Universal Paid Family and Medical Leave, Retirement, Child Care Access and Equity, Trade Adjustment Assistance and Elder Care (Pathways to Health Careers, Elder Justice, Skilled Nursing Facilities and Medicare Dental, Hearing, and Vision Coverage). The Brownstein Tax Policy Team has analyzed the paid leave and retirement provisions.
