The National Federation of Independent Business recently hosted U.S. Congressman Gus Bilirakis at a meeting with small business owners in Pasco County, Florida, to urge the passage of the REPAIR Act, as shared in a news release.
The meeting took place in Odessa, Florida, at NFIB member Manufacturers Distributors Inc. In addition to discussing beneficial ownership requirements and a permanent 20% Small Business Deduction, Bilirakis was told the REPAIR Act needed to pass to protect independent repair shops from anticompetitive behavior.
NFIB is now actively encouraging its members to contact their representatives and advocate for repealing beneficial ownership reporting and supporting the REPAIR Act.
“Earlier this summer, Congress passed legislation that made the 20% Small Business Deduction permanent for Florida’s small businesses,” said Bill Herrle, NFIB Florida executive director. “Congressman Bilirakis was a strong supporter of making this crucial deduction permanent and advocating to get it done before it expired. He is also the Chairman for Commerce, Manufacturing, & Trade Subcommittee, where he has prioritized Right to Repair legislation, a top issue for Florida’s small businesses. We appreciate Rep. Bilirakis for taking the time to meet with our members and remain engaged in small business priorities.”
