Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1.Short title.
This Act may be cited as the “Tax Code Termination Act”.
SEC. 2. Termination of Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
(a) In General.—No tax shall be imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986—
(1) for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2019; and
(2) in the case of any tax not imposed on the basis of a taxable year, on any taxable event or for any
period after December 31, 2019.
(b) Exception.—Subsection (a) shall not apply to taxes imposed by—
(1) chapter 2 of such Code (relating to tax on self-employment income);
(2) chapter 21 of such Code (relating to Federal Insurance Contributions Act); and
(3) chapter 22 of such Code (relating to Railroad Retirement Tax Act).
SEC. 3. New Federal tax system.
(a) Structure.—The Congress hereby declares that any new Federal tax system should be a simple and fair system
that—
(1) applies a low rate to all Americans;
(2) provides tax relief for working Americans;
(3) protects the rights of taxpayers and reduces tax collection abuses;
(4) eliminates the bias against savings and investment;
(5) promotes economic growth and job creation; and
(6) does not penalize marriage or families.
(b) Timing of implementation.—In order to ensure an easy transition and effective implementation, the Congress hereby declares
that any new Federal tax system should be approved by Congress in its
final form no later than July 4, 2019.
SEC. 4. Delay of termination dates.
(a) Two-Thirds majority required.—In the House of Representatives or the Senate, a bill or joint resolution, amendment, or conference
report carrying a change of the dates specified in section 2(a) of this
Act may not be considered as passed or agreed to unless so determined by a
vote of not less than two-thirds of the Members voting, a quorum being
present.
(b) Rules of the Senate and House.—The provisions of subsection (a) are enacted by the Congress as an exercise of the rulemaking power
of the House of Representatives and the Senate, respectively, and as such
they shall be considered as part of the rules of each House, respectively,
or of that House to which they specifically apply, and such rules shall
supersede other rules only to the extent that they are inconsistent
therewith.
