Encouraging Small Business Formation: JOBs Act Signed into Law
Statement
Issues: Business and Consumers
On March 8, 2012 I voted to support H.R. 3606, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, which passed the House by a vote of 390-23. This legislation is a compilation of bipartisan House bills that will provide real solutions to encourage job growth by removing certain regulations impeding small businesses and startups from forming. The measure passed the Senate on March 22, 2012 and was signed into law by the President on April 5, 2012. Passage of the JOBS Act will help pave the way for more small-scale business development which is critically needed in localities across the country, including the many rural communities of the 5th Congressional District.
