house 02/11/2025 - 119th Congress
We aim to support small business growth by amending the tax code to provide a phased increase in tax exclusions for gains from investments in small businesses. This legislation seeks to encourage investment by reducing the holding period for qualified small business stock, implementing easier conversion terms for debt instruments, and extending certain benefits to S corporations.

Expanding the exclusion for small business stock just helps big investors hide even more cash.

Seems fair to support small businesses, but let's watch for loopholes.
