Controversial Public Lands Sale and Eminent Domain Language Not Included in Bill

WASHINGTON (July 1, 2025) – Today, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Ethan Lane thanked the Senate for passing the One Big Beautiful Bill and urged the House to quickly pass the revised version of the bill so President Trump can sign it into law:

“The Senate version of the One Big Beautiful Bill protects family farmers and ranchers across the country from a massive tax hike at the end of the year, increases the Death Tax exemption, makes the Section 199A tax deduction permanent, increases the Section 179 tax deduction, funds foreign animal disease prevention programs, and delivers so many more wins for cattle producers.

“The Senate version of the bill also does not include controversial provisions that have gained national attention. The bill does not include any sale of public lands, and it does not include controversial language on eminent domain. NCBA’s grassroots policy supports landowners’ private property rights, and we oppose the expanded use of eminent domain.

“It’s time for the House to pass this bill and send it to President Trump’s desk so he can sign it into law.”
