House Republicans to Offer Permanent Death Tax Repeal as Motion to Recommit on Democratic Tax Collection Bill

Led by Rep. Kenny Hulshof (R-MO), House Republicans will today offer a permanent repeal of the death tax as a motion-to-recommit to the Democrats' "Tax Collection Responsibility Act."

The proposal Hulshof will offer is identical to the bill he introduced in the 109th Congress, the Death Tax Repeal Permanency Act (H.R. 8), which passed by a vote of 272-162 when the House last voted on the issue as a straight up-or-down vote. 42 Democrats supported a permanent repeal of the Death Tax in the last Congress.
