HR 3825 & HR 3816 - Opposition Letter to the Illinois Congressional Delegation

As the pandemic caused shutdowns and other restrictions, Chicagoland’s small businesses began integrating digital tools and services like integrated reviews on Google Maps and free shipping on Amazon Prime into their businesses to save on costs, keep in touch with customers, and attract new ones.

Now, proposed legislation in Congress would disrupt how the businesses that help our local economy flourish operate online.

The Chicagoland Chamber and our members across the region urge Illinois’ Representatives and Senators in Washington to oppose HR 3816 and HR 3825 and any attempt to limit small businesses’ access to these vital online tools and services.

On behalf of our members, we are concerned that proposed tech regulation legislation would disrupt how small businesses operate.
