The legislation would restore the long-standing rule allowing the full deduction of gaming losses against winnings.\n\n\u201cLast summer, Republicans limited the gambling loss deduction in their so-called Big Beautiful Bill to help pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. Meanwhile, our workers and small businesses pay the price. Nevadans have been clear: you shouldn\u2019t pay taxes on money you never earned \u2014 that\u2019s exactly why we fought to reverse this harmful provision,\u201d said Congresswoman Susie Lee. \u201cI\u2019m glad to see our fix pass out of the House Ways and Means Committee and move one step closer to the finish line. Rest assured, we won\u2019t stop fighting until it\u2019s signed into law.\u201d\n\nFor decades, the Internal Revenue Code allowed taxpayers to deduct gaming losses up to the full amount of winnings. However, a last-minute provision in Republicans\u2019 One Big Beautiful Bill Act reduced that deduction to 90%, forcing people to pay taxes on money they never actually earned. This change threatens Nevada\u2019s gaming industry, tourism sector, and broader economic activity. The FULL HOUSE Act restores the original law, allowing losses from wagering transactions to be deducted in full, ensuring tax liability reflects actual economic reality.\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://susielee.house.gov/media/press-releases/passed-committee-lee-horsford-bipartisan-bill-restore-full-gaming-loss"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9645228274166584, "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"}
