WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. Representative Austin Scott (GA-08) today released the following statement after House passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act:

“Early this morning, the House passed One Big Beautiful Bill with my support. This legislation includes the first updated reference prices for our farmers since 2018, which is a huge and overdue relief for the agricultural industry.

Vital tax relief for all Americans was in this legislation, including my provision to give some tax relief to combat-disabled Purple Heart recipients so they are not penalized for re-entering the workforce by giving them a one-year tax credit to make up for any loss of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits that they are entitled to.

This bill is a victory for America's farmers, veterans, and taxpayers, and I urge the Senate to pass it quickly,” Rep. Scott said.
