1. It's not a "bill". It's a "resolution".
2. It includes no such provisions.
Maybe "Nate Ashworth" should learn to read.

There is no such provision in the resolution. Literally not a single word.

'What to Know
The budget resolution does not contain a bill eliminating taxes on tips,
as some have mistakenly claimed on social media.'
<https://www.newsweek.com/no-tax-tips-bill-republicans-update-pass-congress-budget-massie-2036301>
'While the resolution has opened doors for lawmakers to act on campaign
promises to end taxes on tips, overtime wages and Social Security
benefits, there is actually, no policy or bill in this resolution to do so.'
<https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2025/02/26/no-tax-on-overtime-no-tax-on-tips-no-tax-on-social-security-house-spending-bill-passed-resolution/80468461007/>
And if those sources aren't to your liking:
'But despite claims on social media that it included Trumpâs campaign
pledges to cut taxes on overtime and tips, the framework that passed on
Tuesday is only a budget resolution meant to guide Congress on related
legislation for the year. It does not provide funding for federal
programs or change tax law.'
