HR 5720 by Kaileigh McCrea, Apr 29, 2008 (4:47am)

There are many supporters of this bill, including credit organizations, home builders, and local government associations, who hope that it will be an effective stimulus for the housing market and make it easier for first-time home buyers to afford a house. This bill is much less controversial then the Senate housing bill, an even includes a measure that the Bush administration is fond of, in which stockbrokers are required to report sales of stock to the IRS which should bring in about $8 million.
