The Disaster Reforestation Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to provide tax relief for timber owners whose uncut timber is destroyed by natural disasters, pests, or disease. It allows owners to deduct the appraised value of lost timber—including pre-merchantable stands—provided they commit to reforesting the land within five years. This measure supports active timber businesses by ensuring tax deductions more accurately reflect the economic loss caused by casualty events.

The FairTax Act of 2025 proposes a fundamental overhaul of the U.S. tax system by repealing federal income, payroll, estate, and gift taxes starting in 2027. In their place, the legislation establishes a national sales tax on new goods and services, supported by a monthly rebate for qualified families to offset the cost of basic necessities. The bill also transitions tax administration to the Treasury Department and includes a sunset provision that terminates the sales tax if the Sixteenth Amendment is not repealed within seven years.
