Southeastern Disaster Tax Relief Act

In response to the tornadoes, severe storms, and flooding that devastated parts East Tennessee and across the Southeast this spring, U.S. Congressman Phil Roe, M.D. (TN-01) cosponsored legislation that would provide temporary tax provisions for families, businesses, and local governments as they recover from the tragic storms.

Roe made the following statement about the Southeastern Disaster Tax Relief Act:

After the devastating storms raged through East Tennessee and across the state, many are having to deal with the horrible aftermath. I have seen the damage firsthand, and that is why I felt it important to cosponsor legislation that will provide assistance to families and small businesses through tax relief. As Tennesseans recover from the tragic storms, it is my hope that Congress will pass the Southeastern Disaster Tax Relief Act.
