What was being voted on
119-HR-2347 — Survivor Justice Tax Prevention Act
This bill aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It seeks to exclude from gross income any damages received due to sexual acts or sexual contact, excluding punitive damages. This exclusion applies regardless of whether there are medical records or observable injuries. The bill establishes that a statement declaring damages are due to such acts serves as credible evidence for tax purposes. These changes apply to amounts received from decisions or agreements made after the act's enactment.
