IFDA Praises Senate Passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and Encourages Swift House Action
McLEAN, Va – July 1, 2025 – Following the approval of H.R. 1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” by the U.S. Senate, Mala Parker, Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs at the International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA), issued the following statement:
“IFDA strongly supports the Senate-passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes tax policy essential for the foodservice distribution industry, almost 90 percent of which are family-owned businesses. Making permanent the increased federal estate tax exemption and 199A pass-through deduction will provide certainty and encourage growth for the industry that makes meals away from home possible. The House and Senate deserve immense credit for their work on these provisions, and we urge the House to pass the Senate bill and get it to the President’s desk quickly for the benefit of communities served by Main Street businesses.”
