HR 5145 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.
Bipartisan Premium Tax Credit Extension Act
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend the enhanced premium tax credit, and for other purposes.
Summary
The bill extends the enhanced premium tax credit for health insurance through 2026, which was previously set to expire after 2025. It also extends the rule allowing the premium tax credit to be claimed by taxpayers whose household income exceeds 400 percent of the poverty line, which was also scheduled to expire after 2025. The premium tax credit provides subsidies to lower the cost of health insurance premiums for eligible individuals. These extensions apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, meaning they take effect for the 2026 tax year and beyond.
