Plain-English Summary

The proposal would limit how much income tax people have to pay on certain types of pension income, effectively capping the tax rate applied to these retirement payments. This would primarily benefit retirees who receive pensions from their former employers or government jobs, potentially allowing them to keep more of their retirement income. The change would reduce tax revenue collected by the federal government from this source of income.
