No Hires for the Delinquent IRS Act
HR 203, the "No Hires for the Delinquent IRS Act," requires the Treasury Secretary to publicly certify that no current IRS employee has an outstanding tax debt before any new IRS hire can be offered a position. This directly affects the IRS hiring process by delaying new employee offers until this certification is issued. The bill defines "seriously delinquent tax debt" as unpaid federal taxes with a filed lien, excluding debts being paid under agreement or under active resolution processes. It does not change tax collection laws but adds a hiring condition tied to employee tax compliance.
