Today Congressman Danny K. Davis (IL-07) introduced the Stop Taxing Student Loan Relief Act which offers tax protection for student loan borrowers. Cancellation of student loan debt is likely taxable for the borrower. Without a forgiveness mechanism, borrowers whose loans are discharged can be met with hefty tax bills.

Today, House Ways and Means Social Security Subcommittee Chairman John B. Larson (D-CT), Worker and Family Support Subcommittee Chairman Danny K. Davis (D-IL), and Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Bill Pascrell, Jr.

Madam Speaker, the residents of my district and in districts all over America are jumping for joy. And they’re jumping because they see this bill like manna from heaven.

As the Honorary Chair of the Illinois Black Hall of Fame, I am excited about the official launch of this important organization. I want to commend my sister Dr. Ceola Barnes for her vision and unwavering commitment to make this day a reality. I want to thank President Green and Governors State University for their partnership in this endeavor.
