1ST SESSION 
H. R. 51 
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to increase the dollar limitation 
on employer-provided group term life insurance that can be excluded 
from the gross income of the employee. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 4, 2005 
Mr. BURGESS introduced the following bill; which was referred to the 
Committee on Ways and Means 
A BILL 
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to increase 
the dollar limitation on employer-provided group term 
life insurance that can be excluded from the gross income 
of the employee. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The primary purpose of group term life in-
surance is to provide families with protection against 
the economic loss arising from the death of the prin-
cipal family income producer.
(2) The Revenue Act of 1964 (Public Law 88– 
272) required individuals to pay an imputed income 
tax on the current value of employer-provided group 
term life insurance policies of more than $50,000. 
(3) The value of the $50,000 limitation has 
steadily decreased since 1964 because the limitation 
was not indexed for inflation. 
(4) The number of individuals affected by the 
$50,000 limitation in 1964 was estimated to be 
somewhere between 0.5 percent and 1 percent of the 
total number of individuals who received employer 
sponsored group term life insurance. 
(5) The Department of the Treasury estimated 
that in 1999, 18.1 percent of employees receiving 
group term life insurance were affected by the 
$50,000 limitation (13.6 million of the 75 million 
total recipients of employer sponsored group term 
life insurance). 
(6) If the $50,000 limitation had been indexed 
for inflation in 1964, the limitation would have been 
approximately $300,000 by 2004.
SEC. 2. INCREASE IN LIMITATION ON EXCLUSION FOR EM-
PLOYER-PROVIDED GROUP TERM LIFE IN-
SURANCE PURCHASED FOR EMPLOYEES. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Paragraph (1) of section 79(a) of 
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by striking 
‘‘$50,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$300,000’’. 
(b) INFLATION ADJUSTMENT.—Section 79 of such 
Code (relating to group-term life insurance purchased for 
employees) is amended by adding at the end the following 
new subsection: 
‘‘(f) INFLATION ADJUSTMENT.— 
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—In the case of a taxable 
year beginning after 2005, the $300,000 amount 
under subsection (a)(1) shall be increased by an 
amount equal to— 
‘‘(A) such dollar amount, multiplied by 
‘‘(B) the cost-of-living adjustment deter-
mined under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar 
year in which the taxable year begins, deter-
mined by substituting ‘2004’ for ‘1992’ in sub-
paragraph (B) thereof. 
‘‘(2) ROUNDING.—If any amount as adjusted 
under paragraph (1) is not a multiple of $10,000, 
such amount shall be rounded to the nearest mul-
tiple of $10,000.’’.
‘‘(1) FISCAL YEAR 2008.—Subject to subsection 
(h), the Administrator shall use the amounts appro-
priated to carry out this section for fiscal year 2008 
for making grants to municipalities and municipal 
entities under subsection (a)(2) in accordance with 
the criteria set forth in subsection (b). 
‘‘(2) FISCAL YEAR 2009 AND THEREAFTER.—
Subject to subsection (h), the Administrator shall 
use the amounts appropriated to carry out this sec-
tion for fiscal year 2009 and each fiscal year there-
after for making grants to States under subsection 
(a)(1) in accordance with a formula to be established 
by the Administrator, after providing notice and an 
opportunity for public comment, that allocates to 
each State a proportional share of such amounts 
based on the total needs of the State for municipal 
combined sewer overflow controls and sanitary sewer 
overflow controls identified in the most recent survey 
conducted pursuant to section 516.’’. 
(d) REPORTS.—The first sentence of section 221(i) 
of such Act (33 U.S.C. 1301(i)) is amended by striking 
‘‘2003’’ and inserting ‘‘2010’’. 
SEC. 3. LIMITATION ON THE USE OF FUNDS. 
None of the funds authorized by this Act, including 
the amendments made by this Act, may be used—
