NTU selects 10 bills to add to the list each year. The bills must be bipartisan, have a common-sense solution to a problem facing taxpayers, and must not have been on a prior No Brainers list. Senator Young\u2019s American Innovation and Jobs Act and Yes In My Backyard (YIMBY) Act were selected for this year\u2019s list.\n\n\u201cIntroducing legislation that drives results for Hoosiers while at the same time being a good use of taxpayer resources is of the utmost importance to me as a U.S. Senator,\u201dsaid Senator Young. \u201cIt is an honor to have the American Innovation and Jobs Act and the Yes In My Backyard (YIMBY) Act selected for NTU\u2019s 11th Annual No Brainers List that promotes common-sense solutions that are taxpayer friendly.\u201d\n\n\u201cWhile bipartisanship is lacking in Washington, NTU is pleased to recognize Senator Young and additional members of Congress who have been able to put forward real solutions that would help taxpayers everywhere. From preserving research and development (R&D) incentives in the tax code to addressing housing affordability, Senator Young is helping lead the charge on no-brainer legislation,\u201d said Andrew Lautz, Director of Federal Policy for NTU.\n\nSenator Young\u2019s bipartisan American Innovation and Jobs Act would support innovative businesses and help create jobs by:\n\nPreserving incentives for long-term R&D investment by ensuring that companies can continue to fully deduct R&D expenses each year\n\nImmediately doubling and then further raising the cap over time for the refundable R&D tax credit for small businesses and startups\n\nExpanding eligibility for the refundable R&D tax credit so that more startups and new businesses can use it\n\nSenator Young\u2019s bipartisan Yes In My Backyard (YIMBY) Act would:\n\nShed light on discriminatory land use policies\n\nEncourage localities to cut burdensome regulations\n\nBring a new level of transparency to the community development process\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:24:51Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.young.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/youngs-legislation-makes-national-taxpayers-unions-11th-annual-no-brainers-list/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.189168008044362, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
