Zinke | Z000018 | zinke.house.gov | zinke | https://zinke.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | (Washington, D.C.) Today, Congressman Ryan Zinke voted to pass the Big Beautiful Bill Act, landmark legislation that delivers sweeping reforms to restore fiscal sanity, cut taxes for hardworking Americans, secure our border, and safeguard entitlements for American citizens, without selling public lands. Read the full bill here. “Today I voted to end tax on tips for Montana service workers, lower taxes on Social Security for Montana seniors, and deliver tax relief for ALL Montanans; all while making investments in our national security and safeguarding our public lands,” said Congressman Zinke. “The Big Beautiful Bill is the bold, decisive action Montanans and Americans demanded. No more taxpayer giveaways to illegal immigrants. Just a return to putting America first. The Big Beautiful Bill delivers permanent tax relief with no tax on tips or overtime, lower taxes on Social Security, protections for entitlements from fraud, and doesn’t sell out our public lands. For Montanans, that means more freedom, more security, and more money in your pocket, while protecting the things that matter most.” What the Big Beautiful Bill Delivers: No Sale of Public Lands Congressman Ryan Zinke was successful in stripping a provision selling more than 450,000 acres of public land from the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”. Historic, Permanent Tax Relief Cuts taxes for every American. Ends taxes on tips and overtime. Cuts taxes on Social Security benefits, ensuring seniors keep more of what they earned. Puts an average of $5,000 back in the pockets of working families and saves the average Montanan $1,400 per year. Delivers 15%+ tax relief for middle-income earners ($30,000–$80,000). Strengthening our Social Safety Net Preserves Medicaid and SNAP for those who truly need it. Implements 80-hour-per-month work requirements for able-bodied adults aged 19–64. Requires biannual eligibility checks to root out fraud. Kicks 1.4 million illegal immigrants off entitlements.
