Legislation Update
Congressmen Mike Pence (R-IN) and Albert Wynn (D-MD) introduced the 572 Fairness Act, which aims to deregulate political parties to the extent that 527s are deregulated.
Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ) introduced the Surface Transportation and Taxation Equity (STATE) Act (HR 1097), which allows any state that increases its state gas tax to have its federal gas tax contributions offset by the same amount.
Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) introduced HR 1219 to eliminate the visa-lottery program, in which 50,000 foreign nationals are chosen by lottery to enter the U.S. each year as permanent residents.
