What it does
The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code so that money damages, other than punitive damages, received on account of a sexual act or sexual contact are excluded from gross income and are not taxed.
The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code so that money damages, other than punitive damages, received on account of a sexual act or sexual contact are excluded from gross income and are not taxed. This exclusion applies whether or not there are medical records or observable injuries of the act or contact. If a court decision or settlement states that the damages are on account of a sexual act or contact, that statement is treated as credible evidence and shifts the burden to the government on that question. The change applies only going forward, to amounts received under decisions made and agreements entered into after enactment, and a revised version of a pre-enactment agreement does not qualify. Treasury must also run a program to make the public aware of the exclusion.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 5 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 13 quarterly reports filed by 3 lobbying firms and by 2 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
2 of those filings did not cite this bill by number. They named a short title it shares with its Senate companion, S 5395, so the reference belongs to the pair rather than to one chamber’s vehicle.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
The organizations named: American Association of Settlement Consultants; The Athlete Survivors' Assist (Fka the Army of Survivors); National Structured Settlements Trade Association; Corporate Energy Buyers Association; Duke Energy Corporation. Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
