But there is more work to be done, such as making these tax cuts permanent.
I will work to make the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax cuts permanent.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov identifies H.R.6760 as a bill to make permanent several 2017 tax provisions scheduled to expire after 2025. It passed the House on September 28, 2018, but its latest action was referral to the Senate Finance Committee on October 1, 2018.
Roll Call 414 was on passage of H.R.6760, the Protecting Family and Small Business Tax Cuts Act of 2018. The Clerk records Mast, Republican of Florida, voting Yea; the measure passed 220-191.
Public Law 119-21 was enacted July 4, 2025. Its tax title includes Chapter 1, 'Providing Permanent Tax Relief for Middle-Class Families and Workers,' including sections extending reduced rates, the increased standard deduction, child tax credit, qualified business income deduction, estate and gift tax exemption amounts, and AMT exemption amounts.
Congress.gov lists H.R.1 as Public Law No. 119-21 and states the act became law on July 4, 2025. Its CRS summary says Title VII, Chapter 1 makes permanent multiple individual federal tax provisions enacted in 2017 by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including individual rates and standard deduction provisions.
Roll Call 190 was on the motion to concur in the Senate amendment to H.R.1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The Clerk records Mast, Republican of Florida, voting Aye; the motion passed 218-214.
Assessments
The promised policy outcome was achieved when Public Law 119-21 was enacted on July 4, 2025, making permanent major individual tax provisions originally enacted in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Mast also took concrete federal legislative action toward the outcome, including voting for the final House concurrence on H.R.1 in 2025 and earlier voting for the 2018 House bill aimed at making TCJA provisions permanent. Because enactment occurred in a later congressional term than the original promise context, timing is later_term.
