Bill Summary
A BILL To rescind certain balances made available to the Internal Revenue Service and redirect them to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the DIRECT Act (Diverting IRS Resources to the Exigent Crisis Today Act), proposes to rescind unobligated funds that were originally allocated to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for enforcement activities under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Specifically, the bill would cancel the unused funding from section 10301(1)(A)(ii) of that previous law, effectively removing those financial resources from the IRS. The bill then redirects an equivalent amount of money to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to be used specifically for hiring new agents and officers focused on securing the southern border of the United States. By redirecting these funds, the bill aims to shift federal resources from IRS enforcement to border security, effectively reallocating approximately the same amount of money from one federal agency to another with a different operational focus.
