House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) celebrated the House passage of H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and Louisiana leaders issued the following statements praising the legislation:
“President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill unleashes Louisiana energy and increases the cap on GOMESA from $500 to $650 million/ year. It lowers taxes for Louisiana families and allows us to properly secure the border. It’s exactly why Louisiana voted for President Trump, and Speaker Johnson and Majority Leader Scalise did a great job getting it to the finish line—delivering win after win for Louisiana," said Governor Jeff Landry.
