Horsford. \u201cAmericans who use digital assets need clearer rules and greater certainty. This agreement makes progress while strengthening safeguards to prevent abuse.\u201d\n\nThe legislation applies established tax principles to digital assets, clarifies ordinary-income treatment for mining and staking rewards, and establishes clearer rules for digital asset transactions. Horsford helped shape the agreement through sustained negotiations with colleagues across the aisle.\n\n\u201cAmerica should lead in innovation, and the opportunities it creates should reach working people and entrepreneurs,\u201d said Rep. Horsford. \u201cI stayed engaged to make this legislation stronger and support responsible growth, protect tax fairness, and give taxpayers rules they can understand and follow. We found common ground and moved a bipartisan agreement forward.\u201d\n\nHorsford emphasized that the package represents an important step, with additional questions for Congress to address as digital assets and their uses continue to evolve.\n\nThe bipartisan legislation passed overwhelmingly with 38 Members in favor, 5 opposed. The legislation now awaits consideration by the full House. Horsford will continue working with colleagues to advance the agreement.\n\nWatch Congressman Horsford\u2019s full remarks [Click Here].\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-17T09:52:05Z", "2026-09-17T09:53:00Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases/horsford-secures-bipartisan-digital-asset-tax-agreement-to-support-innovation-and-strengthen-tax-fairness"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7985709235072136, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
