The House of Representatives passed a bill canceling $72 billion in funding for 87,000 new IRS agents.
In one of the new Republican House majority’s first legislative moves on Monday, the body passed a bill rescinding $72 billion in spending on 87,000 new IRS agents.
House Resolution 23, or the Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act, passed the lower chamber in a 221-210 vote along party lines.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced during his first address as speaker early Saturday that the funding for new Internal Revenue Service agents provided under the Inflation Reduction Act enacted last year would be one of the first bills the new Congress takes up.
“This was our very first act of the new Congress, because government should work for you, not against you,” McCarthy wrote on Twitter. “Promises made. Promises kept.”
