Labor

NFIB supported the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). NFIB delivered increased flexibility on PPP payroll requirements (reducing 75% to 60%) and timelines (extending 8 weeks to 24 weeks). NFIB successfully advocated for streamlined PPP forgiveness for loans below $150,000 and a targeted, second round of PPP. 

NFIB successfully urged Congress to reverse the IRS decision prohibiting small businesses from deducting expenses paid with forgiven PPP loans, protecting small business owners from surprise tax increases and administrative burdens.

Legal Victories

  • Legal Center has been called one of the top-ten most influential groups to file briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court by the SCOTUS blog.
  • In NFIB v. OSHA, the U.S. Supreme Court issued stay of OSHA’s vaccine mandate, and OSHA withdrew the vaccine mandate following a successful challenge by NFIB.
  • A federal court agreed with NFIB’s arguments and permanently enjoined the U.S. Treasury from enforcing the American Rescue Plan Act’s prohibition against states using ARPA funds to lower to taxes.
  • In Sackett v. EPA, the Supreme Court agreed with NFIB’s brief that the federal government must follow a new limited test for determining when land contains a “water of the United States” (WOTUS). This decision means fewer construction projects will need expensive federal permits.
  • In Glacier NW v. Teamsters, the Supreme Court ruled that a business could sue a union for damages after the striking employees walked out and left concrete running in trucks. NFIB filed a brief in the case arguing that striking workers cannot intentionally damage property without consequence.
