WATCH: NFIB Arkansas 2023 Legislative Session Wrap-Up Virtual Event The 94^th General Assembly delivered numerous victories for small business owners in the 2023 regular session and special session. From cutting taxes to providing more opportunities for young Arkansans to join the workforce, lawmakers provided real results for our local job creators.

Tax Relief: Lawmakers reduced the top individual rate to 4.4% and the top corporate rate to 4.8%. Not only will these tax cuts provide meaningful relief for more than 1.1 million Arkansans, but put us further down the path to fully phasing out our state income tax.
Youth Hiring Act: This law will help small business owners fill open job positions and equip young Arkansans with the skills they need for their future careers.
