“Mr. Massie ... introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.” Full title: “To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide an exclusion from gross income of gain from the sale of qualified farm property to qualified family members.”

The official bill record confirms introduction of H.R. 8591 and referral to Ways and Means, showing the policy was actively advanced in Congress but not yet delivered into law.

The text creates “an exclusion from gross income of gain from the sale of qualified farm property to qualified family members,” and states that a qualifying family transfer would not incur capital gains tax.

The drafted bill text directly matches the claim’s policy goal, confirming Massie proposed a measure to eliminate capital gains taxes on family farm transfers between family members.

Massie announced H.R. 8591, described as removing capital gains taxes on farm sales or exchanges between family members.

Massie took concrete legislative action aligned with the promise by announcing a bill aimed at eliminating capital gains taxes on family-farm transfers within families. This supports partial fulfillment because it shows effort, not enactment.

The bill was introduced by Mr. Massie and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

The official GovInfo bill record confirms Massie introduced the measure and that it was referred to committee. Introduction and referral are meaningful effort, but do not show the policy became law.

The bill would exclude gain from sale of qualified farm property to qualified family members from gross income.

The bill text directly matches the promise: it targets capital gains from family-farm transfers between family members. Because the cited version is an introduced House bill, it supports partial fulfillment rather than delivery.

The draft creates an exclusion for gain from qualified farm property sales to qualified family members.

Massie’s posted bill text provides the substantive policy language for the proposed exclusion. It is strong evidence of concrete effort, but not evidence that the tax change was enacted.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Massie introduced H.R. 8591, the No Capital Gains Tax on Family Farms Act, which directly targeted the promised capital-gains exclusion for family-farm transfers between family members. However, the evidence only shows introduction and referral to the House Ways and Means Committee, not enactment or implementation of the tax change. Under the instruction for serious but unsuccessful legislative attempts, this is not delivered, but it earns an effort badge.

partial same_term A for effort

Massie took concrete action aligned with the promise by introducing H.R. 8591, the No Capital Gains Tax on Family Farms Act, which would exclude capital gains from qualifying family-farm transfers between family members. The bill text directly matches the promised policy, and the official record shows it was introduced and referred to committee. However, the evidence shows legislative introduction only, not enactment into federal law, so the promised outcome has not been fully delivered. Because he materially advanced the proposal in his current term, partial credit is warranted with same-term timing.
