“I thank Representative Steube and Chairman Smith for their leadership on this legislation, and I urge the House to pass this commonsense legislation. The Taxpayer Notification and Privacy Act will ensure that taxpayers are treated with transparency, with dignity, and with fairness that we all deserve. By giving Americans a clear chance to provide information to the IRS first, we can protect their privacy, their reputations, and their relationships. This will reduce unnecessary third-party probes, saving resources and protecting taxpayers. This strengthens trust between our constituents and the government while ensuring that taxes are properly collected. Mr. Speaker, that is why I urge a 'yes' vote.”
