Wanted to let you know that the court fee intercept bill was introduced late yesterday by Senator Wyden (D-OR) (S. 3989). The introduction of this bill was a bipartisan success as Senator Wyden was joined by Sens. Sessions (R-AL), McCaskill (D-MO) and Thune (R-SD). I am attaching Sen. Wyden’s statement in the Congressional Record on this bill. Thomas does not have the bill up yet, but I may have a version of the draft that Sen. Wyden’s staff shared with us prior to introduction. Let me know if you’d like a copy of that.
Sen. Wyden’s staff is trying to attach the bill to last minute tax legislation that could emerge in the lame duck session. They have asked us to reach out to members of the Finance Committee to express support for S. 3989. Also, to reach out to any other Senator that could be influential in getting this bill attached to moving legislation. I don’t need to remind you of the short window we have in getting this bill through before adjournment. I’ll keep you posted of any progress on this front.
