NSBA | Letters, Comments, and Testimony

The Credit Card Competition Act (CCCA) is simple common sense for small business.

Millions of employees in almost every industry will be affected by the proposed changes.

NSBA congratulates and looks forward to working with Speaker Johnson, as we continue crafting common-sense small-business policies.

Requesting a 60-day extension to the comment period on the DOL's notice on proposed changes to the overtime pay exemptions.

NSBA urges Congress to pass the Protecting Small Business Information Act of 2023 (H.R.4035), and ultimately repeal the CTA in its entirety.

Joining a number of small-business Chambers of Commerce and organizations, NSBA sent a letter to Congress urging policymakers to avoid adding to the growing patchwork of state privacy laws passed and affecting small-business owners.

Stifled by sky-high credit card fees, this amendment is critical both to small business and U.S. national security.

Joining the PPWO and 100+ advocacy organizations, NSBA opposes the DOL rushing into proumlgating new standards for overtime.

Joining 146 other groups, NSBA supports making permanent the Section 199A 20-percent deduction.

The TRIPS waiver expansion could further erode the intellectual property protections that are the lifeblood of America’s small businesses and their abilities to innovate, create jobs, and fuel the economy.

The proposed rule will significantly reduce abilities of many owners to protect their small business without options for non-compete agreements with key employees, contractors, and advisors.

If enacted, the PRO Act will pose far-reaching negative impacts on workers, small businesses, employers, contractors, and unions alike.

Several SBA positions have been open since the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving the majority of small-business owners (67 percent) less than fully confident their business will recover.

The DOL's proposal gives no guidance on how these factors interplay and how businesses should make decisions if these factors point in different directions. NSBA believes that these new rules should be withdrawn, and the current rules should be given a chance to work.

Fewer start-ups, lost innovation, higher costs, and a less vibrant entrepreneurial economy, the NLRB's proposed joint-employer standard will devastate the small-business economy.
