Sen. Elizabeth Warren reintroduced the Refund Equality Act, a bill that would allow same-sex couples to amend past tax returns and receive refunds from the IRS.
. In an interview with NBC News, Chu said she thinks her bill might pick up some Republican support, particularly because several GOP representatives voted for the Equality Act, a bill passed by the House that would modify existing civil rights legislation to add"sexual orientation" and"gender identity" to the list of protected classes, along with race, religion, color, sex, etc.
“After all, there are Democratic LGBT members and there are Republican LGBT couples, so they exist everywhere,” Chu said. “It is only right that we change this tax code to make it fairer for all.” “I have hope that it could move, perhaps in a bigger bill, in which there could be a win-win for all sides on various issues,” she added.
On Thursday afternoon, after Chu spoke to NBC News, the PRIDE Act of 2019 was passed unanimously by voice vote in the House Ways and Means Committee.
