On May 22, 2025, the House of Representatives passed its budget reconciliation bill, H.R. 1 — the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

We commend the House for including Opportunity Zone provisions in this bill. This inclusion signals that Opportunity Zones remain a national priority. As the Senate now takes up the bill, we need your help to ensure that OZ policy is further enhanced and made a permanent part of the tax code.

Here’s how you can help…

Sign Our Letter To Key Lawmakers

Opportunity Zone stakeholders coming together in one voice to show support of the bill would have a strong effect on Congressional leadership and greatly increase the likelihood of the bill’s enactment. On Tuesday, June 2, we will send a letter to several key lawmakers in Congress, urging them to adopt five core policy recommendations. In short, the letter recommends that Congress do the following:

1. Make the Opportunity Zones incentive permanent, with rolling deferral and recurring rounds of zone designations.
2. Remove statutory barriers to OZ investment in operating businesses.
3. Avoid an Opportunity Zone capital freeze by providing a clear 2025–2026 transition framework.
4. Enable fund-of-funds structures to broaden access and efficiency.
5. Allow meaningful participation of ordinary income.
