House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced July 8 that President Donald Trump’s newly signed “Big Beautiful Bill” enshrines 28 of his executive actions into federal law.
“Congress has cemented President Trump’s agenda by passing the Administration’s signature legislation — the One Big Beautiful Bill,” Johnson announced in a July 8 statement. “In this historic act, Republicans included 28 of President Trump’s top executive actions – now codifying some of the most significant America First priorities.”
According to the Blaze, Trump told reporters the bill gives legal permanence to many of his prior executive orders.
“A lot of the things that we did in executive orders have been codified in the legislation that we just had passed,” he said, “and we’re going to be sending in a lot over the next period of about two months separately, but a lot of it was part of that Big, Beautiful Bill.”
According to Johnson’s office, the bill codifies orders focused heavily on border security, energy independence, government reform, and national defense.
The bill incorporates policies aligned with Trump’s earlier declaration of a national emergency at the southern border and implements stricter immigration enforcement. It also includes provisions supporting clean coal development and expedited domestic mineral production — echoing priorities in an April executive order.
Johnson also noted that the bill codifies Trump’s order “Improving Education Outcomes by Empowering Parents, States, and Communities,” which aims to “facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return education authority to the states,” according to a White House fact sheet.
It also supports the Make America Health Again (MAHA) Commission, Johnson reported, an initiative established in Trump’s Feb. 13 order to examine links between diet, food production, and chronic illness.
