Provide tax relief to people who lost their homes or property in a wildfire.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Protect Innocent Victims of Taxation After Fire Extension Act?
The effort to provide tax relief for wildfire victims is stalled in the House Committee on Ways and Means as of September 8, 2025, and the Senate Committee on Finance as of December 3, 2025. Committee leaders must choose to hold a vote to move these bills forward, but most legislation dies in committee without ever receiving a vote. This lack of committee action has prevented progress on the current bills for several months.
