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

The resolution expresses concern over the temporary nature of certain provisions of the TCJA, which creates uncertainty for taxpayers and businesses, potentially affecting 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 copies of the resolution to key federal officials and representatives.
