The Small Business Package

Small Business Package

Many small and local businesses have been devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Illinois unemployment rate remains high. Illinois politicians can partner with the small business community to enact policies that will help small businesses through this pandemic, reduce unemployment in our state, grow the Illinois workforce and generate revenue.

There has never been a more important time to support small and local businesses. Passing this agenda can be a game-changer for the small business community and Illinois economy.
