No CRS summary available for this bill.
This section requires Members of Congress and congressional candidates to submit specified tax return filings—including Form 1040 and Schedule A, extension requests, and statements of non-filing—to the Clerk of the House and Secretary of the Senate within 2 business days of filing (or within 30 days of becoming a Member or candidate). It directs those officials to establish and maintain a publicly accessible online database of all such filings, updated within 5 business days of receipt, and to publish the names of noncompliant individuals until they submit the required materials or more than 6 years have elapsed after they leave office. The requirements apply to tax years beginning in 2025 or later, with a transition rule requiring current Members and candidates to submit 2025 filings within 30 days of enactment.
