Bill Summary

A BILL To prohibit the hiring of additional Internal Revenue Service employees until the Secretary of the Treasury certifies that no employee of the Internal Revenue Service has a seriously delinquent tax debt.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the "No Hires for the Delinquent IRS Act," prohibits the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from hiring any new employees until the Secretary of the Treasury certifies that no current IRS employee has a "seriously delinquent tax debt." A seriously delinquent tax debt is defined as an outstanding tax debt for which a public lien has been filed, with several specific exceptions. These exceptions include debts being paid through a payment agreement, debts under review through a collection due process hearing, debts subject to a potential levy, and debts for which certain types of tax relief have been granted. The bill aims to ensure that IRS employees are meeting their own tax obligations before the agency can expand its workforce, effectively creating a hiring freeze until all current employees are in good standing with their tax responsibilities.
