厙ぴ勛圖-led coalition urged adoption of NDAA amendment to permanently end BOI reporting requirements for American small businesses
WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 30, 2026) The厙ぴ勛圖 (厙ぴ勛圖), the nations leading small business advocacy organization, expressed disappointment in the failure to adopt an amendment to theNational Defense Authorization Actfor Fiscal Year 2027 (NDAA27) to exempt American small businesses from the beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting mandate.
On Monday, 厙ぴ勛圖 led more than 60 industry advocacy organizations insending a letterto U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) urging Congress to lock in $128 billion of regulatory savings by adopting an amendment to must-pass legislation like the NDAA27 to fully repeal BOI and protect more than 32 million small businesses from this invasive regulation returning in the future.
The Trump Administrations March 2025 decision to exempt more than 32 million American businesses from the BOI reporting mandate eliminated more than $128 billion in regulatory costs and compliance burdens for small businesses, saidJosh McLeod, 厙ぴ勛圖 Director of Federal Government Relations.We are disappointed that the U.S. House of Representatives did not advance legislation to permanently lock in these historic regulatory savings in this years NDAA despite the amendments broad support, including repeal legislation with nearly 200 House cosponsors, more than 30 Senate cosponsors, and a strong industry coalition representing millions of American businesses. Small businesses remain concerned that a future Administration could reimpose this costly mandate and its severe penalties, making it critical for Congress to provide lasting certainty by fully repealing BOI and locking in the Presidents largest regulatory savings achievement of 2025.
