Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee emerged from a two-day retreat pledging to work with the administration on developing a unified tax plan based on the blueprint released by House Republicans last year and the plan released by President Trump in late April.

Committee Chair Kevin Brady, R-Texas, made clear that the committee has no plans to abandon its own blueprint, but that he would make "refinements" to try and reach consensus with the White House. The White House plan was short on specifics and is more of an outline of goals than a full plan. It shares some aspects of the House GOP blueprint, but also a few key differences. See our full PDF alert for a side-by-side comparison of the two plans.

IRS Proposes New Racial Nondiscrimination Regulations For Tax-exempt Private Schools

The US Treasury and IRS have proposed regulations that would eliminate longstanding exceptions allowing tax-exempt private schools to maintain race-conscious admissions and scholarship policies. Following the Supreme Court's decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, these rules would apply to all private educational institutions, including K-12 schools not directly affected by that ruling, and could result in loss of tax-exempt status for noncompliance.
