Congressman Paul A. Gosar (AZ-09) has expressed his support for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, known as H.R. 1, following its passage. In a statement, Gosar emphasized the benefits of the legislation, highlighting its provision of historic tax relief to middle-class Americans and reduction of wasteful spending.
The bill also includes provisions that directly impact Arizonans. Notably, it reauthorizes and expands the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), addressing an oversight in the original 1990 act that excluded parts of Mohave County, Arizona. This change aims to compensate individuals who developed health issues due to radiation exposure from atomic weapons testing.
Gosar’s legislation within the bill also promotes solar and wind energy development on public lands, intending to lower energy costs and support conservation efforts. Revenue from these projects will be shared with local governments.
Families in Arizona are set to benefit financially from the bill, with expected increases in take-home pay and reductions in taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security for seniors. The legislation raises child tax credits and introduces savings accounts for newborns.
Border security is another focus of the bill, providing funding for President Trump’s border wall and resources for Border Patrol and ICE agents. According to Gosar, this addresses issues caused by current border policies.
In conclusion, Congressman Gosar stated: “The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers for Arizonans… These are transformational policies that support all Americans for generations.”
