Key Vote: United Nations Tax Equalization Refund Act

United Nations Tax Equalization Refund Act
- Vote Failed (259-169, 6 Not Voting)

Under a vote that required a two-thirds majority, the House failed to pass this bill that would establish as United States policy that the United Nations should return $179 million overpaid into the U.N. Tax Equalization Fund as of Dec. 31, 2009, and that the U.S. should press the U.N. to change its fund assessment procedures to reduce discrepancies. The future of the bill is unclear.

Rep. Ander Crenshaw voted YES
