Work to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent.
Occurrences
Evidence
TITLE VII—FINANCE includes "CHAPTER 1—PROVIDING PERMANENT TAX RELIEF FOR MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES AND WORKERS" and Section 70101 amends the Internal Revenue Code by striking the January 1, 2026 sunset for the reduced rates, making the 2017 rate structure apply beginning after 2017.
Babin said he "was proud to cast my vote for this historic bill" and described it as delivering "bigger paychecks, lower taxes" and "delivering historic economic relief." The release says the bill "delivers the largest tax cut in U.S. history" and includes tax relief provisions that were part of making the 2017 tax cuts permanent.
Roll Call 190 for H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, shows the motion to concur in the Senate amendment passed 218-214.
Assessments
The provided evidence indicates Public Law 119-21 was enacted on July 4, 2025 and permanently extended core 2017 individual tax-cut provisions by removing the January 1, 2026 sunset for reduced rates. Babin voted for and publicly supported the final reconciliation bill that enacted those provisions. Because the promised outcome was to work to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent, and the relevant provisions became law during the same term, the promise is best classified as delivered.
