Survivor Justice Tax Prevention Act
This bill amends the tax code to exclude non-punitive damages from gross income for survivors who receive compensation related to sexual acts or contact. It directly affects survivors of sexual violence who receive court-ordered or agreed-upon compensation (excluding punitive damages) for physical injuries stemming from such acts. The key provision removes the requirement for medical records to prove the connection between the damages and the sexual violence, allowing compensation to be accepted if the legal agreement or judgment states it is for that purpose. The tax exclusion applies to judgments made or agreements entered into after the bill's enactment, with special rules for payment timing. The bill also requires the Treasury to promote public awareness of this tax exclusion.
