SJRES 3 Passed Senate 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.
A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Internal Revenue Service relating to "Gross Proceeds Reporting by Brokers That Regularly Provide Services Effectuating Digital Asset Sales".
Summary
Senate Joint Resolution 3 would disapprove an Internal Revenue Service rule requiring brokers who regularly facilitate digital asset (cryptocurrency) sales to report gross proceeds from those transactions. The resolution, passed by the Senate on March 4, 2025, would nullify the IRS rule relating to "Gross Proceeds Reporting by Brokers That Regularly Provide Services Effectuating Digital Asset Sales," published in the Federal Register on December 30, 2024. Under the Congressional Review Act, if the resolution passes the House and is signed by the President, the IRS rule would have no force or effect and could not be re-issued in substantially the same form.
