Bill > S2222

This bill, the Protect Taxpayers' Privacy Act, aims to amend existing laws to lower the standard for removing federal employees who disclose tax return information without authorization. Specifically, the bill increases the monetary penalty for unauthorized disclosure of taxpayer information from $5,000 to $250,000, and the penalty for tax return preparers from $1,000 to $250,000. Additionally, the bill modifies the removal process for federal employees, allowing for their dismissal or discharge upon conviction for violating the law on unauthorized disclosure of tax return information, rather than the standard process outlined in existing law.
