The first obstacle that a revenue-raising tax bill must clear before becoming law is:
C. A hearing by the House Ways and Means Committee.
The House Ways and Means Committee has jurisdiction over all taxation, tariffs, and revenue-raising measures. It typically initiates tax legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives and reviews and modifies tax proposals before they move to the full House for consideration.
