Evidence

The official House-site release says Cline introduced the No Tax on Takings Act on February 25, 2026, to amend the Internal Revenue Code and shield property owners from federal taxes when property is taken through eminent domain.

Concrete legislative action toward the promise, but it is introduction only; this source does not show enactment, so the promise is only partially delivered as of 2026-06-20.

never unknown A for effort

Cline took concrete action toward the promise by introducing the No Tax on Takings Act on February 25, 2026, which directly sought to amend the Internal Revenue Code to remove federal tax consequences for property owners forced to sell through eminent domain. But the available evidence shows only bill introduction, not enactment or any completed change in federal law by 2026-06-20. Under the federal office standard, sponsorship of a serious bill earns effort credit, but without passage or implementation the promised outcome was not delivered.
