Is foreclosure debt relief still taxed or not?

Recently, there was talk that the IRS was changing its rules so that debt relief experienced by persons who lost their homes to foreclosure would no longer be taxed. What’s the status on this rule change?

    Mortgage foreclosure is still considered to be taxable by the IRS.
