Latest action: Became Public Law No: 119-78.
Signed into law by the President (or passed over a veto). Now public law.
The President signed the bill into law (or Congress overrode a veto). It's now public law and federal agencies will implement it.
Congress blocked Washington D.C.'s new tax law that changed income and business tax rules.
The problem
Washington D.C. passed a tax law that changed how income and business taxes work. Congress had the power to disapprove it.
The proposal
This resolution disapproves and rejects the D.C. tax law, preventing it from taking effect as written.
The impact
D.C. residents and businesses face unclear tax rules. The city loses revenue from the tax changes it approved.
Congress exercised its legal authority to review D.C. laws. This is part of how the federal government checks local government power.
Blocking sudden tax changes prevents businesses from facing unexpected new tax burdens. This gives companies time to plan.
Residents may avoid sudden tax increases from the new law. This keeps tax rules more predictable.
D.C. residents voted for their representatives who passed this law. Congress overruling it reduces D.C. self-governance and local democratic choices.
The city loses money it planned to collect from the new tax rules. This affects D.C.'s budget for services and programs.
Congress has special power over D.C. that it doesn't have over states. This creates unfair differences in how governments operate.
Blocking the law leaves D.C. tax code in limbo. Residents and businesses face confusion about which rules apply.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
