AI Summary This summary was generated by AI from the bill text. AI can get information wrong.
This bill would cancel certain unspent funds that were set aside for the Internal Revenue Service under parts of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. It targets money that has been allocated or made available for IRS activities but has not yet been committed to specific projects or contracts. If the bill becomes law, the remaining unspent amounts covered by specific parts of section 10301 of Public Law 117-169 would be taken away and no longer available for IRS use. The measure is short and focused: it names particular subparts of the 2022 law and rescinds the unobligated balances of those provisions as of the date the law would take effect.
- What it does: cancels (rescinds) unspent balances of amounts appropriated or otherwise made available to the IRS by paragraphs (1)(A)(ii), (1)(A)(iii), (1)(B), (2), (3), (4), and (5) of section 10301 of Public Law 117-169 (the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022).
- Who it affects: applies only to unobligated balances — money that was allocated but not yet spent or formally committed — as of the date the bill becomes law.
- Result and limits: removes the remaining authority to use those specified funds for IRS activities; the bill does not state where the canceled funds would go or provide replacement funding.
- Form and status: a short, single-purpose bill introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means on January 3, 2025.
