House To Vote On IRS Private Tax Collectors

This Thursday, the House is scheduled to take a floor vote on a bill to repeal the IRS private tax collection program. This is great news, and we urge support of the bill (HR 3056). The bill that'll be voted on, which was shepherded by Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), would allow companies who currently have contracts under the program to complete them, and its cost is fully offset. A nearly identical version of the bill, HR 695 sponsored by Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Rep. Steve Rothman (D-NJ), has 156 cosponsors, including 16 Republicans. Update: The vote will take place on Wednesday, not Thursday.
