The House of Representatives passed a sweeping, bipartisan tax bill Wednesday that would expand the child tax credit for American families.
The bill, which heads now to the Senate, would adjust the maximum child tax credit, currently $2,000, to $2,100 in tax years 2024 and 2025, according to an analysis by the nonprofit Tax Foundation. And it would raise the portion of the credit that taxpayers may reap as a refund, currently $1,600, to $1,800 for tax year 2023, $1,900 for 2024 and $2,000 for 2025. Read the story here.

The company sued, saying the move was retribution for its public opposition to a state law, called "Don't Say Gay" by critics, which restricts classroom instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation. That punishment of its speech violated the First Amendment, Disney said.
But U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor threw out the lawsuit on Wednesday. Read the story here.
