On April 10, 2025, U.S. Congressman Aaron Bean, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, expressed his support for the Senate Amendment to H.Con.Res.14. Congressman Bean highlighted the amendment's aim to deliver tax relief and restore national prosperity.

"Our body has a historic opportunity to deliver tax relief to hardworking families and to restore our nation’s prosperity. Today’s vote restores the border, secures energy dominance, backs peace through strength, rebuilds our military, and most importantly, it is the first step to preventing the largest tax hike in U.S. history," stated Congressman Bean. He also emphasized his dedication to achieving tax cuts while reducing spending, saying, "I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to restore fiscal sanity and rein in the runaway spending that threatens to bankrupt our country."

The Senate Amendment to H.Con.Res.14 establishes a budgetary framework for fiscal year 2025, also setting budget levels for the fiscal years 2026 through 2036. The bill, which passed narrowly by a vote of 216-214, focuses on several key areas. These include securing the border, investing in defense, enhancing America's energy potential, and maintaining Medicaid for vulnerable populations. Additionally, it aims to prevent what officials describe as the largest tax increase in U.S. history.
