Plain-English Summary

This bill would prevent the federal government from taxing compensation that property owners receive when the government takes their land for public use, such as for highways or parks. Currently, when someone is paid for property seized through eminent domain, that payment may be subject to federal income tax; this legislation would make such payments tax-free. The change would primarily benefit property owners who lose land to government projects.
