U.S. President Donald Trump's signature tax and budget legislation, commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, won final approval from the U.S. House of Representatives on July 3, 2025 after passing the U.S. Senate on July 1, 2025.
Trump, who gave the Republican-controlled Congress a deadline of July 4, 2025, to send the act to him, is expected to sign it into law.
The bill faced major pushback from Democrats, some Republicans and even instigated a public fallout between Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk, one of the president's former senior advisers.
Given the long list of provisions inside the dense, approximately 900-page legislation, rumors often circulated about its policies and potential impacts. For example, Snopes debunked a claim that the bill gave the president the power to cancel or delay elections, but confirmed that the bill sought to lower the age of dependents from under 18 to under 7 for the federal food assistance program.
