Statement

Issues: Business and Consumers Employment and Affirmative Action

Congressman French Hill (AR-02) issued the following statement after cosponsoring and voting in favor of the Save Local Business Act:

"More jobs, more opportunities for entrepreneurs, and a better chance for American businesses to thrive, grow, and create jobs is what brings success to Americans across the country. The House rolled back an Obama-era regulation that blocked entrepreneurs' ability to launch franchise businesses and made it harder for contractors to work with small business owners. Today, we helped restore a commonsense definition to employers that provides more certainty and stability for workers and employers all over the country and helps promote good jobs for hardworking Americans."

Background:

The Save Local Business Act, H.R. 3441, amends the National Labor Relations Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act to restore the commonsense definition of what it means to be an employer. The legislation clarifies that two or more employers must have "actual, direct, and immediate" control over employees to be considered joint employers.
