PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2026-10-01 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
The proposed Integrity for Taxpayers Act would change rules for barring entities and individuals from federal health care programs. It addresses entities controlled by sanctioned individuals and individuals controlling sanctioned entities. Specified relationship language would look to the time of a conviction, civil monetary penalty (a financial penalty), or exclusion for entities, and a conviction or exclusion for individuals.
This Act may be cited as the Integrity for Taxpayers Act.
2. Clarifying OIG authority to exclude certain entities from participation in Federal health care programs (a) Entities controlled by a sanctioned individual
at the time of the conviction, civil monetary penalty, or exclusion described in subparagraph (B), had a direct or indirect
(b) Individuals controlling a sanctioned entity
at the time of the conviction or exclusion described in subparagraph (B), had a direct or indirect
For entities controlled by a sanctioned individual, section 2(a) would replace present-tense relationship language with language referring to the time of the specified conviction, civil monetary penalty, or exclusion. It would also add “or” between clauses (i) and (ii). The full clauses being amended are not reproduced.
(a) Entities controlled by a sanctioned individual Section 1128(b)(8)(A) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1320a–7(b)(8)(A)) is amended— (1) in clause (i)— (A) by striking has a direct or indirect and inserting , at the time of the conviction, civil monetary penalty, or exclusion described in subparagraph (B), had a direct or indirect; and (B) by striking the comma at the end and inserting ; or; and (2) in clause (ii), by striking is an officer and inserting , at the time of the conviction, civil monetary penalty, or exclusion described in subparagraph (B), was an officer.
For individuals controlling a sanctioned entity, section 2(b) would change “has a direct or indirect” and “is an officer” to past-tense language tied to the time of the specified conviction or exclusion. These amendments do not include civil monetary penalties in their timing language.
(b) Individuals controlling a sanctioned entity Section 1128(b)(15)(A) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1320a–7(b)(15)(A)) is amended—
(B) by striking has a direct or indirect and inserting , at the time of the conviction or exclusion described in subparagraph (B), had a direct or indirect; and (2) in clause (ii), by striking is an officer and inserting , at the time of the conviction or exclusion described in subparagraph (B), was an officer.
Section 2(b) would also replace wording beginning with “of the action” and ending with “described in subparagraph (B)” with “such action.” The supplied text does not reproduce the intervening words or the surrounding statutory sentence, so it does not establish the complete meaning of this edit.
(1) in clause (i)— (A) by striking of the action and all that follows through described in subparagraph (B) and inserting such action;
Section 2(c), labeled a technical correction, would change a definition reference in section 1128(b)(15)(A)(i) from section 1128A(i)(6) to section 1128A(i)(7). Neither referenced definition is supplied.
(c) Technical correction Section 1128(b)(15)(A)(i) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1320a–7(b)(15)(A)(i)) is amended by striking as defined in section 1128A(i)(6) and inserting as defined in section 1128A(i)(7).
