Farm Bill Amendment Would Block ACA Funds for IRS
U.S. Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) has filed an amendment (S AMDT 927) to a farm bill (S 954) that would prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from receiving funds in fiscal year 2014 or later to enforce the Affordable Care Act. The move follows increased criticism of the IRS after the agency admitted that it had placed extra scrutiny on conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.
