Now will be considered by the full House

07 June 2023

The House Ways and Means Committee today marked up and voted out of committee to now be considered by the full House the seven tax-related bills listed below.

In his opening statement to the markup, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) described the bills as follows:

We will also be marking up six bills giving small businesses and their employees more health care options and flexibility while reducing outdated burdens.

We are considering bills to increase flexibility for the more than half of American workers enrolled in high-deductible health plans. These policies are focused on giving businesses more flexibility to expand pre-deductible coverage for key medical services. ...

Additionally, today we will advance a measure to maintain this Committee’s jurisdiction over the airport and airway trust fund as our colleagues on Transportation and Infrastructure Committee work towards a bipartisan reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration.
