Sen. Bill Dix, a Republican from Shell Rock, has introduced a resolution urging Iowa's Congressional delegation to support efforts to extend tax cuts.

Dix introduced the resolution in the Iowa Legislature on Monday, claiming families depend on the tax cuts, which were approved in 2001 under former President George W. Bush.

The cuts are set to expire at the end of this year after President Obama successfully pushed a two-year extension.
