Supporting Transit Commutes Act 

This bill provides employers a tax deduction for certain transportation fringe benefits given to employees.

Under the bill, employers may deduct costs for providing employees transportation in a commuter highway vehicle (e.g., van pool) between the employee’s home and place of work or a transit pass. The amount of the deduction cannot exceed the aggregate exclusion amount for such fringe benefits ($325 per month per employee in 2025 and adjusted annually). Further, under the bill, the deduction cannot exceed 50% of such amount for transportation fringe benefits provided under a salary reduction agreement.

Susan Muffley Act of 2025

This bill restores the full vested monthly benefits for eligible participants of certain pension plans that were sponsored by Delphi Corporation and terminated as a result of General Motors' bankruptcy in 2009.

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) must recalculate and adjust each plan participant's monthly benefits payment. The PBGC must also apply the recalculation to previously-made monthly payments and make a lump-sum payment for any additional benefits based on the recalculation.

The bill establishes and provides appropriations to a fund for the payment of these benefits and specifies how the lump-sum payments are treated for tax purposes.
