HRES212-119

Passed House

Returning Senate Joint Resolution 3 to the Senate.

119th Congress Introduced Mar 11, 2025

Summary

What This Bill Does

This House resolution returns Senate Joint Resolution 3 to the Senate. S.J. Res. 3 would disapprove the Internal Revenue Service rule on gross-proceeds reporting by brokers that regularly provide services for digital asset sales. The House resolution states that, in the House's opinion, S.J. Res. 3 contravenes Article I, section 7, clause 1 of the Constitution, the Origination Clause, and infringes the privileges of the House. It directs that the joint resolution be respectfully returned to the Senate with a message communicating the House resolution.

Who Benefits and How

The House of Representatives benefits institutionally because the resolution defends its claimed constitutional privilege over revenue-related measures. The House Clerk benefits from a clear instruction to return the Senate joint resolution with a message. Supporters of House origination prerogatives benefit because the resolution creates a formal record that the House views the Senate measure as constitutionally defective. The Internal Revenue Service reporting rule is procedurally protected in the short term because the Senate disapproval resolution is returned rather than processed in the House.

Who Bears the Burden and How

The Senate bears the procedural burden because its joint resolution is returned instead of receiving House consideration. Supporters of S.J. Res. 3 bear a burden because their path to disapprove the IRS digital-asset broker reporting rule is interrupted. Digital asset brokers seeking repeal of the gross-proceeds reporting rule may face continued reporting exposure while the House rejects the Senate-originated vehicle. The House Clerk must transmit the return message to the Senate.

Key Provisions

  • Provides the House's view that S.J. Res. 3 violates the Origination Clause.
  • Provides the House's view that S.J. Res. 3 infringes House privileges.
  • Directs S.J. Res. 3 to be returned respectfully to the Senate.
  • Requires a message communicating the House resolution to accompany the returned joint resolution.
