Senator Jerry Moran, recognizing that small businesses are the backbone of towns across America, introduced the Main Street Tax Certainty Act with 35 other senators. This legislation would make the 20% Pass-Through Business Tax Deduction permanent, preventing the deduction from expiring at the end of 2025. Moran says from independent grocers to family-run farms, small businesses are the engine behind so much economic growth and giving them the certainty they need to plan for the future will incentivize important investments in rural and urban communities.
He also introduced legislation to create pathways to stable careers for high school students through expanding access to apprenticeship programs. Apprenticeship programs provide affordable, hands-on training that enable students to quickly achieve the skills they need to join the workforce and have a successful career. Moran says expanding apprenticeship pathway programs to high school students will create more job opportunities right after graduation while also helping meet key shortages in our workforce.
