The Senate advanced a budget reconciliation bill through committee this week that would extend the enhanced child tax credit through 2027, affecting roughly 39 million households, while lawmakers submitted 11 amendments addressing everything from agricultural subsidies to telecommunications regulations. A single floor vote passed along party lines, though three separate committee meetings revealed continued disagreement over the bill’s treatment of business deductions and earned income limits.
