What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "No Taxes on Utility Bills Act," aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It proposes to allow taxpayers to deduct certain costs from their taxes. Specifically, it targets taxes and State-mandated surcharges that are included on gas or electric utility bills. The changes would be made to Section 164(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. These amendments would apply to taxable years starting after the act is enacted.
