JCN Attends Iowa Hearing on Prove It Act

Alfredo Ortiz, president and CEO of Job Creators Network, will attend a hearing in Iowa today hosted by Sen. Joni Ernst on the Prove It Act, her proposed federal legislation to require federal agencies to consider the impact of proposed regulations on small businesses and involve small businesses in the rulemaking process. Alfredo Ortiz released the following statement:

“The Biden administration is waging regulatory war on American small businesses, with burdensome new environmental and labor mandates that threaten to destroy their already slim profit margins. Sen. Ernst’s Prove It Act would reign in this executive overreach by requiring federal agencies to consider the impact of proposed regulations on small businesses and involve small businesses in the rulemaking process. The legislation fulfills a pillar of Job Creators Network’s American Small Business Prosperity Plan, an eight-point policy playbook to jumpstart the small business economy. On behalf of small businesses across the nation, JCN applauds Sen. Ernst’s leadership on this vital issue and is honored to attend today’s important hearing.”
