SALT LAKE CITY, UT — Today, the U.S. House of Representatives concurred with the Senate on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), paving the way for President Trump to sign the sweeping pro-growth economic package into law.
The OBBBA renews the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), a key provision that helps Utahns keep more of their hard-earned money and prevents the largest tax increase in history. As part of AFP’s national Protect Prosperity campaign, AFP-Utah has been speaking with voters across the state to highlight the importance of these tax cuts.
AFP-Utah State Director Kevin Greene issued the following statement on the passage of the bill:
“Today, we’re grateful for Reps. Mike Kennedy, Celeste Maloy, Blake Moore, and Burgess Owens delivering on their promises and paving the way for long-term economic opportunity and prosperity in our state. The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and renewal of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is a monumental win for hardworking Utah families and job creators.
“AFP-Utah’s grassroots army of activists have worked tirelessly throughout the state to reinforce the importance of preventing the largest tax hike in history.”
