The 136th General Assembly of Ohio has passed a 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, which has contributed to economic growth, job creation, and increased wages in Ohio. It also emphasizes the simplification of the tax code, making it easier for taxpayers to comply with their obligations, and notes that the temporary nature of certain provisions creates uncertainty that could hinder long-term planning and investment.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the federal government to adopt a tax structure similar to Ohio's, which has reduced its income tax brackets and rates since the implementation of the TCJA. The Ohio lawmakers express their desire for Congress to protect the economic prosperity fostered by the TCJA by making its provisions permanent. The resolution concludes with a directive for the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to key federal officials and representatives.
