HR 7732: Promoting Innovation in Blockchain Development Act

This bill, known as the Promoting Innovation in Blockchain Development Act, modifies federal law to include digital assets like cryptocurrencies within the existing legal framework for money laundering.

HRES 1078 is a procedural resolution requesting the President and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary to provide specific documents to the House of Representatives.

This bill prevents property owners from paying income tax on the profit they make when the government takes their land or buildings through eminent domain (such as for public projects) or when they sell due to immediate threat of taking.

Property owners can choose to waive this exclusion and pay tax on the gain if they prefer. The bill directly affects homeowners and businesses facing government acquisitions using eminent domain powers.
