Unanimous Consent Requests (Executive Session)
Senators considered disaster tax relief legislation extending federal tax breaks for wildfire and disaster victims, including keeping relief payments from being taxed as income. Senator Cruz asked unanimous consent to pass the bill with an amendment adding victims of the 2024 Texas Panhandle wildfires to the relief; Senator Wyden objected, saying the pending proposal had bipartisan support while the Cruz addition did not. Senators Padilla and Scott spoke in support of the underlying bill, citing the need to spare disaster survivors from federal income tax on settlements and rebuild assistance.Written by AI from the debate.
