Begin considering tax treatment of damages from sexual misconduct

AI-assisted summary

The Senate agreed to begin considering H.R. 2347, the Survivor Justice Tax Prevention Act. The bill would allow certain nonpunitive damages received because of sexual acts or contact to be excluded from federal gross income, even without medical records or observable injuries, and would assign the IRS the burden of proving otherwise when a judgment or settlement identifies those damages. This vote began consideration; it did not pass the bill.

Context: The summary describes the version reported to the House on April 9, 2026; the vote to begin Senate consideration did not approve that version or establish the bill’s final text.
