Not Authority

This is a news reference. It is not citable as authority and must not be quoted to a client as the basis for a position.

Borrowing the posture of IRC §6110(k)(3): written determinations may not be used or cited as precedent. The same applies here — these scout results signal that something may have changed and warrant a primary-source research pass against the Decisis corpus before any client-facing advice.

The bill would index the GST exemption to inflation prospectively, eliminate the "Crummey" notice formality for trusts with under $5M of contributed property, and create a federal directed-trust safe harbor. Floor consideration expected this summer.
