The House Committee on Ways and Means has approved a substitute version of this bill. A “substitute” means the committee replaced the original text with a new version before sending it forward. This version passed the committee vote 23 to 16.
Why it matters: This is an incremental legislative step. It does not become law yet; it simply moves a revised version of the proposal closer to a floor vote in the House.
