The 136th General Assembly of Ohio has passed a concurrent resolution urging the United States Congress to make the provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) permanent. The resolution highlights the significant tax relief that the TCJA has provided to individuals, families, and businesses in Ohio, contributing to economic growth, job creation, and higher wages. It also notes that the TCJA has simplified the tax code, making it easier for taxpayers to comply with their obligations, and has encouraged investment in the U.S., enhancing the country's economic competitiveness.

The resolution expresses concern over the temporary nature of certain TCJA provisions, which creates uncertainty for taxpayers and businesses, potentially hindering long-term planning and investment. It calls on the Federal Government to follow Ohio's example of tax reform, which has reduced the number of income tax brackets and lowered the top marginal rate. The resolution concludes by directing the Clerk of the Senate to send authenticated copies to key federal officials and representatives from Ohio.
