It’s another hidden tax
small businesses can’t afford!
California’s small and medium-sized businesses are struggling. The pandemic, along with high real estate costs, taxes, regulations, and rising labor costs, has made it difficult for these businesses to thrive and survive in California.
Now, special interests groups lacking experience in effective business management are aiming to impose an excessive set of regulations on California’s small and medium-sized businesses. These regulations will severely hamper their competitiveness and drive businesses out of California.
SB 253 will require thousands of businesses to not only report but verify all emissions in their ENTIRE supply chain, world wide. This requirement would particularly burden small and medium-sized businesses that have partnerships with larger corporations, as they would have to cope with arduous reporting obligations. This extensive increase in reporting demands is likely to drive up costs for smaller businesses that may not have the necessary resources to comply, ultimately leading to the loss of valuable contracts.
- SB 253 will do little to fight the actual effects of climate change.
- SB 253 will pass on huge costs to businesses.
- SB 253 will require small businesses to hire expensive consultants and lawyers to audit and report their emissions.
- SB 253 will lead to lost revenue for many small businesses.
- SB 253 will increase the cost of gas, food, and everyday essentials.
