Quiver AI Summary
On October 8, 2025, U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan, Jr. introduced H.R. 5695, known as the No Taxation Without Operation Act, amidst the ongoing government shutdown. This proposed legislation aims to bar the IRS from collecting federal taxes when the government is unable to provide essential services, addressing what Bresnahan describes as a "ridiculous double standard."
Under this act, tax collections would halt during government shutdowns, and penalties for nonpayment would freeze. It also seeks to exempt backpay for furloughed federal workers from income tax once the government reopens. Bresnahan, expressing commitment to taxpayer fairness, has taken steps to withhold his own salary during the shutdown.
The bill aligns with Bresnahan's efforts to promote government accountability, following his support for extending government funding through various legislative measures. He criticized Senate Democrats for their role in the shutdown, vowing to advocate for the needs of his constituents in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
