NFIB worked hard to protect small business from employer mandates
Minimum Wage
Stopped legislation that mandated a higher state minimum wage on employers. NFIB also successfully lobbied for legislation to keep cities from setting their own minimum wage higher than the state wage.
Unemployment Reform
Fought to protect small businesses from unfair unemployment claims by seasonal or temporary workers.
Asset Forfeiture
Supported legislation that requires the state to pay attorney’s fees when a defendant, including a small business, prevails in a civil asset forfeiture case.
Franchisee Protection
Pushed back on recent federal overreach by supporting legislation that clarifies the difference in state statute between franchisors and franchisees. This is in response to a highly controversial decision by the National Labor Relations Board that dramatically expanded the definition of joint employer.
