Recent Small Business Rundown episodes provide federal and state updates
What it means: Recent episodes of the Small Business Rundown explore concerns regarding Beneficial Ownership Information reporting with a first-hand account of how it impacts the privacy of small business, and a separate episode discusses how labor union laws and unionization affect small businesses across the country.
Our take: “This [Beneficial Ownership Reporting] is such a huge issue because it affects so many small businesses … We’re concerned about the privacy of our members’ information on their website. The fact that local, federal, state law enforcement, and intelligence agencies don’t have to have a warrant to access this information, [raises] a number of concerns,” said Josh McLeod, NFIB Director of Federal Government Relations.
Take Action: Repeal harmful Beneficial Ownership Information reporting requirements!
Episode 67: Beneficial Ownership Reporting Update
NFIB member Steve Flanagan explains the challenges his small business faced reporting Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI). Josh McLeod, Director of Federal Government Relations, discusses the latest update on BOI reporting along with the privacy and security concerns small businesses have reporting sensitive information in a new, untested online database.
Take Action: Send a message urging Congress to fully repeal BOI reporting.
Episode 68: Small Business Rights Impacted by Union Laws and Regulations
NFIB experts Tim Goodrich, Vice President of State Government Relations, and Dylan Rosnick, Principal of Federal Government Relations, explore the effects of labor unions on small businesses and recent developments for legislation on unionization. They also dive into the pro-union policy threats developing at the state and federal level and what small business owners can do to fight back.
Take Action: Fight back against pro-union threats on small businesses!
