Plain-English Summary

This bill would impose a special tax on companies whose chief executives earn significantly more than their typical workers, aiming to discourage extremely high CEO pay packages. The tax would apply to large corporations and would increase their tax burden based on the ratio between what a CEO makes compared to the median employee salary. The goal is to reduce income inequality by making it financially disadvantageous for companies to pay executives vastly more than their workforce.
