Ryan, Hatch sign GOP tax bill

House and Senate leaders signed the tax bill on Thursday, allowing the measure to be sent to President Trump for his signature.

The bill was signed by Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Senate President Pro Tempore Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who is also chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Both lawmakers played a key role in developing the bill.

The signing ceremony comes after the House and Senate passed the measure on Wednesday. The bill cuts tax rates for individuals businesses and curbs some tax breaks.

During the event, Republicans argued that the bill will help middle-class families and lead to more jobs. They touted announcements from several companies that said they were going to provide bonuses and make new investments in light of the bill.

“We come to these jobs to try and improve the lives of the people we represent. And this bill, more than so many other things we’ve ever tried to do, does that,” Ryan said.

The White House has not yet announced an official time when Trump will sign the bill.
