The National Federation of Independent Business has issued its 2025 legislative priorities for Iowa small businesses.
- Property Tax Reform – NFIB is urging Iowa Legislators to continue to look at ways to cap city and county spending, limit property tax exemptions and equalize the playing field for ALL property taxpayers in Iowa.
- Unemployment Insurance Tax Cuts – NFIB is urging Iowa legislators to simplify the unemployment insurance tax brackets and lower the wage base threshold to remain competitive with neighboring states. This will be a significant tax cut for small businesses, while keeping the Unemployment Trust Fund solvent.
- Energy Regulation Reform – NFIB is urging Iowa legislators to look for ways to protect small businesses and their employees from skyrocketing energy costs. Modernizing how energy is regulated, produced and consumed will help ensure Iowa’s economy stays competitive and continues to grow.
