The House of Representatives has passed the Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act, a bipartisan bill aimed at providing tax relief to Americans affected by natural disasters. The legislation, which was advocated by Rep. Greg Steube and supported by multiple representatives, offers financial relief to individuals and families impacted by wildfires, hurricanes, and other catastrophes in 47 states. Key supporters include Rep. Jahana Hayes, who signed a discharge petition to force a vote, and Sen.
