Mr. Speaker, this bill comes down to fairness and enforcement. When people cheat the tax system and get away with it, honest taxpayers are the ones who pay the price. If we expect whistleblowers to help close the gap, we need to protect them, treat them fairly, and ensure that the system works. This is a practical, bipartisan step to strengthening enforcement and restoring confidence in the system. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill.

I’m thrilled to help deliver $110 million to the Yountville Veterans home to expand care. We owe a great debt to the men and women who served in our armed forces — investing in expanded care for our veterans just makes sense.

Californians are all too familiar with the devastation caused by wildfires. In the wake of losing their homes and livelihoods, it is wrong to tax survivors on settlement money that is meant to help them rebuild their lives.
