Thirty-one of the Senate’s 49 Republicans are co-sponsoring a bill to nullify a Biden administration proposal by banning the IRS from conducting surveillance on the financial affairs of virtually all individual Americans.

The lead co-sponsors of the “Prohibiting IRS Financial Surveillance Act” include Sens. John Boozman and Tom Cotton, both from Arkansas, as well as Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee Ranking Member Tim Scott (R-S.C.).
