It was not the best of legislative sessions for small business, but by the end it, NFIB was able to help kill 92% of the bills most harmful to Main Street enterprises, while successfully pushing to passage two longtime NFIB priorities that finally became law.

HB 1382 – All Payer Claims Database (APCD) modernization
The bill updates state law to reflect federal rules introduced during the first Trump Administration and finalized during the Biden Administration to provide greater cost transparency for medical procedures. Importantly, the bill finally repeals a decade-old prohibition on the use of health insurers’ “proprietary financial information,” which will better inform researchers and policymakers about population health, cost and utilization variations and trends, and other metrics. In addition, the database will allow some employers to access information to better educate healthcare and health-insurance purchasing and utilization decisions.

HB 1483 – Right to Repair digital electronic devices
NFIB has been the leading business voice advocating for this law which will allow individuals and small repair shops greater access to the parts, tools, instructions, and other components necessary to service and repair digital electronic devices from all manufacturers. This has been a multi-year effort, involving extended negotiations with various manufacturers, trade associations, and individual businesses, as well as consumer, environmental, and other interest groups.
