What's in it

See official bill text

The number on this bill, 5334, started out as a different bill: the SEED Act of 2025. That entire text was removed and replaced with the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, which is the text that was voted on. The official record now files it under the new name too.

The House passed this bill's original text — the SEED Act of 2025 — in Apr 2026, before the text was replaced. That vote was not a vote on the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026.

Reduces federal revenues by $648 million over 2026-2036.

The bill expands an existing tax deduction for classroom expenses to early-childhood educators, allowing them to reduce their taxable income and pay less in federal income tax, which reduces government revenues by roughly $60-70 million annually.
