North Carolina Issues

  • July 15, 2010During the 2011 General Assembly, NFIB/North Carolina will fight to:

    Stop efforts to move up the start of school: We oppose efforts to move the start of school to the second Monday in August. Such a move would mean a shorter summer vacation and hurt small businesses that rely on travel and tourism.

    Protect property rights: NFIB/North Carolina will continue to challenge any legislation that would let state or local government seize an individual's or business' property so someone else can develop it.

    Extend the sunset of the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit:Since 2007, NFIB/North Carolina has been involved with the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit. This credit, which NFIB helped pass, provided a $250 tax credit for small businesses with 25 or fewer employees in instances where an employee earned $40,000 a year or less and the employer paid at least 50% of the insurance premium. The credit was to expire on Jan. 1, 2010. The House voted to extend the credit, but the extension didn't make it into the final version of the state budget bill. We'll revisit the issue in the 2011 legislative session.
