This new rule will continue to force small business owners to make hard choices like raising prices and laying off their hard-working employees.\n\n\u201cAfter years of rising prices, small businesses need real relief, not more bureaucratic regulation and mandates. I strongly oppose this rule from the Biden Administration and will continue to support our Hoosier small businesses,\u201d Senator Todd Young.\n\n\u201cWhen the free market sets the price of labor, opportunity and prosperity are the result. When the federal government sets the price of labor by one-size-fits-all mandates, small businesses are forced to fire employees and close shop to make ends meet. We\u2019re leading a challenge to this new Biden rule because this White House\u2019s out-of-touch economic policies have been an unparalleled disaster for American wages,\u201d said Senator Braun.\n\nThe senators are challenging the rule through a Congressional Review Act joint resolution of disapproval.\n\nIn addition to Senators Young and Braun, Senators Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), John Thune (R-S.D.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Katie Britt (R-Ala.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.
