Continuity for Operators with Necessary Training Required for ATC Contract Towers Act of 2021 or the CONTRACT Act of 2021 This bill exempts certain air traffic controllers from a required reduction in their retirement annuity payment on account of earnings from certain work performed while entitled to such annuity. Under current law, retired Federal Aviation Administration air traffic controllers receive an annuity payment during the period between the mandatory retirement age of 56 and the Social Security minimum age of 62.

The bill exempts from such reduction in annuity payments an air traffic controller who participates in the Air Traffic Control Contract Program (a public-private partnership for air traffic control services) following mandatory retirement.

This joint resolution nullifies the final rule submitted by the Department of Homeland Security titled Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility   published on September 9, 2022. The 2022 final rule nullified an August 14, 2019, final rule. The 2019 final rule made it more likely that a non-U.S. national ( alien under federal law) would be denied admission or lawful permanent resident status because that individual is likely to become a public charge (i.e., receive certain public benefits). This joint resolution restores into effect the nullified 2019 final rule.

Maddy summaryHJRES 61 proposes repealing the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which would eliminate Congress's constitutional authority to collect federal income taxes on all income sources (except during a formally declared war). This bill would directly affect all individuals and businesses currently subject to federal income tax, removing the legal basis for the tax system. If ratified by 3/4 of states within seven years, it would require the Treasury Secretary to submit implementation recommendations within 180 days of ratification. The proposal does not change current tax law but seeks to remove the constitutional foundation for federal income taxation.
