Public Law 115-97 amended ACA section 5000A by striking the 2.5 percent rate and $695 penalty amount and replacing them with zero, effective for months beginning after December 31, 2018.

The individual mandate penalty was effectively repealed, but only as to the penalty amount, not the entire ACA package Schweikert had targeted.

IRS says the TCJA reduced the individual shared responsibility payment to zero for tax year 2019 and later, but taxpayers are still required by law to have minimum essential coverage or qualify for an exemption.

As of the current IRS guidance, the individual mandate penalty is zero but the statutory coverage requirement remains.

IRS continues to describe the ACA employer shared responsibility provisions as the 'employer mandate' or 'pay or play' rules, under which applicable large employers must offer coverage or potentially make a payment to the IRS.

The employer mandate remains in force, so the broader repeal promise was not fully delivered.
