HR 1440 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Discriminatory Gaming Tax Repeal Act of 2025
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal the excise taxes on wagering.
Summary
The bill repeals Chapter 35 of the Internal Revenue Code, which imposes federal excise taxes on wagering activities, including bets placed on sports, casino games, and other gambling. The repeal is effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024. This eliminates the federal excise tax burden on gambling and betting transactions that were previously subject to these taxes.
