House Committee Advances the D.C. Taxing Authority Review Act

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform advanced the D.C. Taxing Authority Review Act (H.R. 9720), which would extend Congress's review period for D.C. tax changes from 30 to 60 days and require congressional approval for tax increases. The bill faces opposition from D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Council Chair Phil Mendelson, who argue it would hinder the city's fiscal recovery, while companies like DoorDash support it as a way to limit local tax burdens.
