Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
This bill amends section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code by removing subsection (i), thereby making the 20 percent qualified business income (QBI) deduction permanent. The text is limited to that single statutory change and does not add offsets or other tax changes.
Whether the QBI deduction primarily helps small 'Main Street' businesses or wealthier owners
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly focused substantive change that is precisely drafted in terms of the statutory text it alters, but it provides minimal supporting detail on timing, fiscal implications, or administrative and oversight follow-up.

Likely to oppose or be skeptical.
Supporters frame this as small-business relief, but progressives will note the deduction's cost and distributional tilt toward higher earners.
They would press for offsets or targeting if permanence proceeds.
Mixed view: values certainty for small businesses but worries about fiscal cost.
Would weigh permanence against budget tradeoffs, preferring measurable offsets or periodic review.
Could support with fiscally responsible guardrails.
Generally strongly supportive.
Permanence delivers pro-growth tax certainty to Main Street pass-throughs, aligning with small-business and pro-investment priorities.
Opposes artificial sunsets that create planning risk.
