To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 70430

The section amends section 460(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 by replacing home construction contract with residential construction contract in both places in paragraph (1), and by inserting words applying a three-year rather than a two-year test in subparagraph (B)(i) for a residential construction contract that is not a home construction contract. It also strikes paragraph (4), renumbers paragraph (5) as (4), and fixes the cross reference that follows.

What the document actually says

“by striking "home construction contract" both places it appears and inserting "residential construction contract", and”

To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 70430
That sentence, in plain words

The word home is taken out in two places. The word residential is put in. The rest of the phrase stays the same.

What this is about

The new term is wider than the old one. A contract that is not for homes gets a three year test. The old test ran over two years.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
