Before adjourning last week, the U.S. House passed several measures
benefiting small business, but a new California law mandating paid
leave poses a big threat to small business growth.
House measures that help small business include:
- Setting small business tax-expensing levels at $500,000
- Redefining full-time employment under Obamacare as 40 hours per week
- Expediting construction of the Keystone XL pipeline
Meanwhile,
small business owners in California now have to deal with a new law
mandating paid leave for almost all employees. NFIB sees this as an
emerging trend across the country, and will continue to fight for small
business owners on this issue.
