Indiana's 2024 Small Business Growth Agenda

The 2024 legislative session is right around the corner. On January 8th, lawmakers will gather in Indianapolis to consider new legislation. NFIB here in Indiana has put together a small business growth agenda and is sharing small business issues and priorities with lawmakers so they understand the problems you are facing as a small business owner. Earlier this month, the Leadership Council got together for a presentation from Beth Milito, Executive Director of the Small Business Legal Center. Beth shared the Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting fact sheet, a rule that takes effect January 1, 2024! You can read all about it here: FinCen-One-pager-11-10-23-update-6580a6a666edd
