DISPOSITION

APR 5, 2025

“Amendment SA 2152 not agreed to in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 47 - 52. Record Vote Number: 190.”

what this changes

This amendment attempted to include a specific goal for middle-class tax cuts within the government's 10-year budget plan. Because the Senate voted it down, this specific instruction was not added to the budget blueprint.

WHY IT MATTERS

Budget resolutions set the 'rules' for future tax-cutting bills. If this had passed, it would have signaled a requirement or strong intent to focus upcoming tax legislation on middle-income earners rather than other groups.

WHO IS AFFECTED

Middle-income Americans would have been the primary focus of the tax changes proposed by this amendment.
