Summary
Amends the Internal Revenue Code to establish a special rule for income tax deduction treatment of the travel and transportation costs of construction workers in connection with job sites located more than 30 miles from a worker's principal residence. Prohibits disallowance of a deduction solely because the work in question is of indefinite duration. Disapproves expressly of the "one-year rule" set forth in Revenue Ruling 59-371 as grounds for disallowing deductions.
