SBE Council met with SEC to help provide input for the November 2013 Annual Small Business Capital Formation conference. \n\nTax Reform:  SBE Council continues to advocate for fundamental reform of the tax system, providing input to the working groups on tax reform in the U.S. House and members of the Senate spearheading the effort. Specifically we have provided comments and continue to push for lower tax rates for entrepreneurs (indiviudal rates) and corporate entities, encouraging U.S. startup activity, elimination of capital gains and death taxes, simplicity, making permanent certain important features (like Section 179 expensing and business expensing) and pointing out various legitimate business expenses that should remain deductible (i.e.: interest on debt), and against LIFO repeal. SBE Council continues to advocate for small business friendly tax reform working with our members and with coalition partners. \n\nTax Increases:  SBE Council continues to oppose tax increases on entrepreneurs,  investment and industries and sectors that result in higher costs for small businesses.  For example, SBE Council opposes increased energy taxes as proposed in President Obamas previous and current budgets.  SBE Council will oppose tax increases on capital gains, carried interest and other provisions that deter investment and capital formation.    \n\nImmigration Reform:  SBE Council continues to advocate for comprehensive immigration reform specifically focusing on increasing high-tech, high-skill visas and adding low-skill and entrepreneur visas.  We continue to oppose e-verify for small employers, and to express concern with e-verify and other general provisions in the Senate-passed bill (S.744) that burden small businesses or make it costly and impractical to utilize visas for business workforce needs.  \n\nAffordable Care Act (ObamaCare):  SBE Council continues to advocate and comment on proposed rules and regulations to Health and Human Services (HHS), and educate about potential problems with implementation of the law (ie: health care exchanges, mandates, etc.) that do not serve the interests of entrepreneurs.  In addition to legislation cited at the beginning of this report that SBE Council has endorsed or supported through votes in Congress, SBE Council also supports repealing key provisions in the Affordable Care Act like the employer mandate, ACA tax increases (medical devices, individual tax hikes, the health insurance tax) and restrictions placed on HSAs. Specific legislation SBE Council is supporting includes: Medical FSA Improvement Act (H.R. 1634); H.R. 45 - legislation to repeal ACA; American Jobs Protection Act, (H.R. 903), (S. 399).  \n\nGlobal Trade:  SBE Council continues to support expanding trade accords with nations to open markets for entrepreneurs and the U.S. business sector.  SBE Council is monitoring and supporting efforts to accelerate the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and supports a new U.S.-EU trade accord.  SBE Council continues to advocate for streamlined and less costly processes for small businesses that operate in global markets, whether that be importing or exporting. Specific pieces of legislation SBE Council is supporting include: State Trade Coordination Act (H.R. 1926); Trade for Small Business and Jobs Act (H.R. 1916); Export Coordination Act (H.R. 1909).\n\nAffordable Energy: SBE Council continues to support greater exploration and development of domestic energy resources, as well as construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.  SBE Council opposes proposals and efforts to restrict liquefied natural gas exports.\n\nTelecommunications, Technology & IP:  SBE Council continues to call for the federal government to release additional spectrum to accommodate the explosion in mobile device and wireless usage.  With respect to auctions, SBE Council believes an open, market-based auction will yield better results for the private sector, small businesses, the federal government (in terms of revenues), investment and job creation. SBE Council also supports efforts to accelerate our nation to next generation high-speed internet protocol (IP) broadband networks and continues to voice our support to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).  SBE Council continues to advocate for strong IP enforcement and tools to protect small businesses from such theft both domestically and internationally. SBE Council distributed our new IP book (Unleashing Small Business Through IP) to key Mebers of Congress on Capitol Hill.\n\nFree Speech: Follow the Money Act (S.791) - SBE Council opposes the legislation.", "Council of Economic Advisers (CEA),Energy, Dept of,Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),Executive Office of the President (EOP),Federal Communications Commission (FCC),Health & Human Services, Dept of (HHS),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Internal Revenue Service (IRS),Labor, Dept of (DOL),President of the U.S.,Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC),SENATE,Small Business Administration (SBA),Treasury, Dept of", null, 45000, 0, 0, "2013-10-21T12:19:38.157000-04:00"], [1460019, "cceb8640-435d-4d7f-99bf-6caa37a70fb9", "Q3", "AKIN GUMP STRAUSS HAUER & FELD", 682, "DOYON, LIMITED", 2013, "third_quarter", "SMB", "Assistance with regard to legislative reforms of Small Business Administration minority and government contract legislation and regulation; monitor and provide input on amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act and the Defense Appropriations Act that relate to changing the Small Business Administration's 8(a) program", "Government Accountability Office (GAO),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Interior, Dept of (DOI),SENATE,Small Business Administration (SBA)", null, null, 0, 0, "2013-10-21T12:32:11.650000-04:00"], [1461151, "9c20252c-f9da-45e4-87e5-95b345f4fea6", "Q3", "DINEEQUITY, INC.", 400992825, "DINE EQUITY, INC.", 2013, "third_quarter", "SMB", "Small Business Issues (general).", "HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE", 80000, null, 0, 0, "2013-10-21T13:52:41.400000-04:00"], [1461252, "8d4c5875-6488-4729-88fb-65bca1e08ce3", "Q3", "TD BANK, NA", 400761286, "TD BANK, NA", 2013, "third_quarter", "SMB", "Issues related to small business lending and tax relief", "Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC),Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC),Federal Reserve System,HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Internal Revenue Service (IRS),Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC),SENATE,Treasury, Dept of", null, 280000, 0, 0, "2013-10-21T14:00:28.333000-04:00"], [1461443, "a65de025-37b1-4af1-8672-2b64c16dde8b", "Q3", "NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION", 28674, "NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION", 2013, "third_quarter", "SMB", "The association monitors initiatives tied to rural and community economic development which typically have a direct connection to\nthe type and level of communications services that may be available in a rural community or market area, and that are often important\nto the survival of such communities and market areas.
