Sen. Rick Scott’s Disaster Tax Relief Bill Passes Senate, Heads to President's Desk
Last week, after years of fighting to get Florida Families needed relief, Senator Rick Scott got his Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act passed in the Senate. This bill provides disaster-loss tax relief for communities in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Puerto Rico and more across the nation that have been affected by disasters, including Hurricanes Helene, Debby and Milton this year, and Hurricanes Ian, Nicole, Fiona and Idalia in recent years that are still waiting for much-needed relief from the federal government. Now that this legislation has overwhelmingly passed the Senate and the House, where Congressman Greg Steube led it, it heads to the president's desk to become law. 
Senator Rick Scott said, “After years of fighting, I am incredibly proud to see the passage of meaningful tax relief for families who faced devastation and loss from Hurricanes Ian, Idalia, Helene, Milton and other disasters in recent years. For too long, families have been left waiting. Passage of this bill is a good start to help so many families in Florida, Puerto Rico and across the nation, and I hope to see the president sign it into law quickly, just as past administrations have done, to bring relief as soon as possible."
