WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 11, 2026) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, hosted its annual Washington, D.C. Fly-In this week on Capitol Hill. Small business owners met with Trump Administration officials, Congressional leadership, and dozens of lawmakers on several critical issues, including:

• Repealing the Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Reporting Requirement and Registry – NFIB continues to pressure Congress to repeal the law that established BOI reporting requirements and for the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to destroy all beneficial ownership information data already submitted by U.S. small businesses. (Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act H.R. 425/ S. 100, S. 4419).
• Reforming Credit Card Swipe Fees – Swipe fees have become one of the highest costs for business owners. A bipartisan bill in Congress would provide options for small business owners to choose their credit card processing network, enabling credit card companies to compete for business and driving down fees. (Credit Card Competition Act: H.R. 7035/ S. 3623).

“NFIB members are grateful for the opportunity to share their stories about the impact of top legislative priorities with Trump Administration officials and lawmakers in Congress,” said NFIB President Brad Close. “We thank each official who met with small business owners and listened to their message about the solutions that will allow them to invest more of their hard-earned dollars back into their employees, businesses, and communities.”

NFIB Members joined Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for a small business roundtable and heard from SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler.     

     
Among the Congressional meetings, NFIB Members met with Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.
