GOP To Have To Re-Vote On Tax Bill After Pork Discovered

The bill hit a snag Tuesday afternoon, when the Senate parliamentarian ruled that two provisions would have to be removed from the bill.

One provision at issue would allow families to use education savings accounts, often called 529 accounts, to pay for K-12 private schools and home-schooling expenses. The other exempts private colleges and universities with fewer than 500 tuition-paying students from paying a new tax being imposed on their endowments

Both provisions have been found to be in violation of the Byrd Rule, which governs the types of legislation that can be passed under reconciliation.
