"Most provisions affecting the individual income tax in the 2017 tax law ... are scheduled to expire in 2025."

Congressional Research Service stated in 2025 that the individual TCJA provisions were still scheduled to expire, indicating they had not been made permanent by then.

partial later_term A for effort

Schweikert made a serious same-term legislative attempt by introducing H.R.8214, the PERCENTS Act, in June 2022 to make key individual TCJA tax cuts and simplification provisions permanent. That bill did not advance beyond referral to Ways and Means, and the temporary TCJA individual provisions were still scheduled to expire as of March 2025. To the extent later federal legislation after the 2022 campaign addressed or extended these provisions, Schweikert may receive some candidate credit as an active House member and prior sponsor of substantially similar permanence legislation, but the provided record does not show his own bill enacted or establish that he personally delivered the full promised outcome. Therefore this is partial, with an effort badge for the serious legislative attempt.
