The bill, which was proposed by second-term GOP Rep. Jason Chaffetz, also would keep tax scofflaws from getting hired by the federal government in the first place.
It passed by a vote of 263 to 114 and will be sent to the Senate.
Federal civilian employees draw their compensation and funds from the American taxpayers (so) they owe it to the taxpayers themselves to be compliant, Chaffetz said. Those that do not should be fired or lose funding.
Chaffetz, R-Utah, cites IRS data that shows nearly 100,000 federal civilian employees owed $1 billion in unpaid federal income taxes in 2009. That number has remained fairly constant since 2004, but the amount owed has increased nearly 70 percent, from $599.8 million, according to the agency.
