Hultgren. “When backed by private capital, these businesses have grown jobs 3.5 times faster than others. Freeing up private equity firms to invest will get much-needed capital off the sidelines and directly into the hands of our job creators—Illinois’ small businesses. I was proud to co-sponsor this bill and urge the Senate to take it up quickly.” Rep. Hultgren gave a speech on the House floor in support: http://youtu.be/_0hNsUADx8c Earlier this week, Rep. Hultgren co-sponsored two important pieces of legislation aimed at relieving the heavy burdens placed on small businesses by the IRS, so that these businesses can start hiring again. The small business package includes H.R. 3169, the IRS Rulemaking Fairness Act of 2013, and H.R. 3479, the Small Business Taxpayer Bill of Rights Act of 2013. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
