What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "No Tax Breaks for Radical Corporate Activism Act," aims to change the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It seeks to prevent employers from taking a tax deduction for certain types of reimbursements paid to employees. Specifically, it denies deductions for expenses related to travel for the purpose of obtaining an abortion. It also denies deductions for any gender transition procedure performed on a minor child of an employee. These changes would apply to taxable years beginning after the Act is enacted.
