Advocating for America's Small Businesses

On June 9, Small Business Majority Vice President of State Policy & Advocacy Awesta Sarkash sent a letter to Pennsylvania Senate Labor & Industry Committee in support of the Family Care Act. This legislation would create a statewide paid family and medical leave program.

Small Business Majority submitted an updated memorandum in support of New York's One Fair Price Package as it's because it's needed to protect New York small businesses and consumers from harmful business practices. The One Fair Price Act A9349B/S8623 would ban surveillance pricing in New York while the Protecting Consumers and Jobs from Discriminatory Pricing Act A9396A/S.8616A would ban the use of electronic shelf labels and prohibit surveillance pricing in grocery stores and pharmacies.

On May 19, Small Business Majority sent a letter to the U.S. House Committee on Small Business in opposition of H.R. 5498, the Small Business Health Options Awareness Act of 2025, which directs the Small Business Administration (SBA) to promote the availability of Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs) to small businesses. 

On May 7, Small Business Majority joined a coalition of eight national organizations representing small businesses and fair markets to file an amicus brief in the case Linney's Pizza v. Federal Reserve at the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The brief argues that the Federal Reserve’s 21-cent cap on debit interchange fees, set forth by Regulation II, is unlawful and is a misinterpretation of the limits outlined in the Durbin Amendment.
