What used to be in HR 1424 is on the cutting room floor.

Was HR 1424 a bill for the raising of revenue?

Yes, in part. One can get to the details of that specific bill from the summary page of H.R.1424.

It's very common for certain statutory language to appear in multiple bills, simultaneously. Following Congress is a bit like a shell game, except all the containers are transparent for anybody who has the time to check Thomas. Not to say that the language is available in time for the public to scope it out in advance of a vote (contentious things are usually done in back rooms, with administration participation), but the language is always there after the fact.
