IDAHO FALLS — U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said Tuesday that the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill will have real impacts on Idaho residents in the form of more take-home pay and lower taxes.

Speaking from Melaleuca’s Distribution Center, Johnson said Idaho was the first stop on a national tour touting the benefits of the federal government’s new spending plan, a sweeping tax relief plan signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 4.

The plan replaces a Trump law signed in 2017, during his first presidency. That law was set to expire at the end of this year.

Tuesday’s visit by the Speaker of the House was his second to Melaleuca, the largest private employer in Idaho Falls. He said business and technology growth in Idaho made it an obvious first stop on his tour.
