NFIB Encourages Iowa Lawmakers to Keep Small Businesses at Forefront During 2023 Legislative Session
- Property Tax Reform
- Property taxes in Iowa are too high, uncompetitive and have increased by more than 120% in the last twenty years.
- Out of control city and county budget increases along with unfair tax exemptions have created an unsustainable property tax climate that continues to shift the burden of paying for essential public services onto the backs of small businesses and their employees.
- Income Tax Reform
- One of the top priorities for NFIB small business members continues to be the lowering of Iowa’s personal income tax rates.
- The best and most fair way to give every small business and their employees more of their hard-earned money while ensuring continued economic growth in Iowa is through personal income tax cuts.
- Frivolous Lawsuit Reform
- In the past several years, Iowa has seen a substantial jump in high-dollar medical malpractice awards and excessive settlements against Iowa’s trucking industry.
- Trial attorneys have deployed new tactics to exploit Iowa’s current soft cap on noneconomic damages resulting in higher healthcare costs, the reduction of access to care through closures of hospitals and clinics and the skyrocketing price of commercial trucking insurance.
