The House will be forced to vote on a bill that would give federal tax relief to victims of natural disasters due to a mechanism that has rarely succeeded.

The vote will force a vote on the Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2023, which would also provide federal tax relief to those impacted by the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, in February last year.
