TAX — Taxation/Internal Revenue Code

Consideration of H.R. 7024 the "TAX RELIEF FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES AND WORKERS ACT" That allows taxpayers to delay the date on which they must begin deducting their domestic research or experimental research costs over a five-year period until 2026. Taxpayers may therefore expense such costs incurred between 2022-2026. The title extends the allowance for depreciation, amortization, or depletion in determining the limitation of the business interest deduction. It also extends 100% bonus depreciation and increases the limitations on expensing of depreciable business assets. Tax rates, including corporate, small business, and proposed cap on 199A.

LBR — Labor Issues/Antitrust/Workplace

Consideration of H.R.2826 - Save Local Business Act that would provide that a person may be considered a joint employer in relation to an employee under federal labor law only if such person directly, actually, and immediately (and not in a limited and routine manner) exercises significant control over the essential terms and conditions of employment. Such control may by demonstrated by hiring and discharging employees, determining individual employee rates of pay and benefits, day-to-day supervision of employees, assigning individual work schedules, positions, and tasks, and administering employee discipline.
