Senator Schmitt Votes For One Big, Beautiful Bill

On July 2, 2025, Senator Schmitt voted in favor of the One Big Beautiful Bill. This is what he had to say about it.

Senator Schmitt proudly voted to move forward with President Trump’s America First agenda. The One Big Beautiful Bill will prevent the largest tax hike in American history, secure our border, fund deportations, create American Jobs, and keep our country safe.

The bill included:

• Tax cuts that will result in Missouri families seeing their take-home pay increase between $6,900 $11,600.
• My ENABLE Act, which enhances ABLE (529a) accounts. These accounts are tax-advantaged savings plans for individuals with disabilities. The bill permanently extends key provisions related to these accounts and increases the saver’s credit, providing greater financial security and opportunities for people with disabilities and their families.
• My Helping Communities with Better Support Act expands home and community-based services to those with disabilities. This provision will cut multi-year waiting lists and allow thousands of individuals with disabilities to access the care they need through home and community-based services.
• My provision to increase the cap for 529 plans from $10,000 to $20,000, allowing Missouri parents to invest more in their children’s primary and secondary education. This doubles the current maximum that parents can use in 529 plans, while also expanding the list of eligible expenditures.
• My Educational Choice for Children Act provides a charitable donation incentive for individuals and businesses to fund scholarship awards for students to cover expenses related to K-12 public and private education.
• My effort to make the 20% pass-through deduction permanent for Missouri small businesses.

He remarked,

I proudly voted to move forward with President Trump’s America First agenda today. The One Big Beautiful Bill will prevent the largest tax hike in American history, secure our border, fund deportations, create American jobs, and keep our country safe. This is a win for families across Missouri, and I look forward to continuing to work with President Trump to usher in America’s Golden Age ^[1].
