HR 6010: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend and modify the enhanced premium tax credit, and for other purposes.

This bill extends and modifies the premium tax credit (subsidy) for health insurance purchased through the marketplace, applying to coverage for 2026 and 2027. It raises the income threshold for full subsidy eligibility from 400% to 600% of the federal poverty level, meaning more low-to-moderate-income households (up to 600% of poverty) will pay lower monthly insurance costs. The bill also adds new penalties for agents or brokers who provide false information during enrollment, including civil fines up to $50,000 per person and criminal charges for intentional fraud. These changes directly affect individuals buying health insurance through marketplaces and the agents/brokers who assist them.

HR 5960: Territorial De Minimis Exemption Act
