# Plain Language Summary: H.R. 9798

This bill is essentially a political statement wrapped in legislative language. It doesn't change any laws or policies—instead, it attempts to rename an existing law that's already been in effect since 2022. The law being targeted is the Inflation Reduction Act, a major piece of legislation that invested hundreds of billions of dollars in clean energy, climate initiatives, and healthcare programs.

The bill proposes changing the official name of that law to the "Lied about Inflation and Energy Dependence Act of 2022" or the "LIED Act of 2022." This is clearly meant as a criticism, suggesting that the original law didn't actually accomplish what its supporters claimed it would. The bill was introduced by a House member and would need to pass both chambers of Congress to take effect.

For everyday people, this bill has no practical impact on your life. It won't change any benefits you receive, any taxes you pay, or any programs you use. The actual Inflation Reduction Act—which provides tax credits for electric vehicles, home energy improvements, and other initiatives—would continue operating exactly as it does now, regardless of what name appears on the official paperwork. This is purely a symbolic gesture meant to express disagreement with the law's effectiveness or intent, not a substantive change to how government actually works.

To provide a short title for the law commonly referred to as the "Inflation Reduction Act".
