IRS chief counsel nominee Marjorie Rollinson has passed the initial procedural vote and is likely heading to confirmation. She is expected to hold major responsibilities, including providing legal advice on enforcement efforts and mobilizing staff to institute and shield the 2022 tax-and-climate law.
The U.S. Senate scheduled a confirmation vote for Rollinson following a bipartisan procedural floor vote on Wednesday, which yielded 52 votes in favor and 42 against. Assuming she is confirmed, Rollinson will take up the chief counsel role in the midst of the IRS’s efforts to produce innovative guidance and utilize billions in additional funding to strengthen its enforcement mechanism.
It is crucial for Rollinson to demonstrate the IRS’s commitment to performing these duties and effectively using its resources.
