To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 70438

The section provides that in applying section 304(b) of the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, section 301 of that Act is applied by reading the date of enactment of this section in place of the date of enactment of that Act each place it appears.

That sentence, in plain words

One date in a 2020 law is read differently. The date this law passed takes its place. That holds wherever the older date appears.

What this is about

The older law sets rules for disaster losses. Moving the date widens the window. That older law is not indexed here.

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.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: substitute the date of enactment of this section for the older date in applying a provision of the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020.

Nothing in the section is left out. It is a single sentence.

The section works entirely on the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, which is not indexed here, so what the date controls cannot be checked against anything on this site.
