TO URGE THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO PERMANENTLY EXTEND THE TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT OF 2017.

HCR 1002 is a non-binding resolution passed by the Arkansas General Assembly urging the U.S. Congress to permanently extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA). It does not change tax law but requests Congress extend the TCJA's provisions, including individual income tax cuts and the 21% corporate tax rate, which are set to expire at the end of 2025. The resolution cites economic claims from the TCJA era (like lower unemployment and income growth) as justification but makes no policy changes itself. Arkansas lawmakers are formally advocating for Congress to make these tax cuts permanent through legislative action.
