This bill amends federal labor law to significantly increase the dollar thresholds that determine when the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has authority over labor disputes. Specifically, it multiplies the current jurisdiction thresholds by ten starting in 2026, meaning the NLRB would decline to handle disputes involving smaller employers than it currently does. After 2026, these thresholds will be adjusted annually based on inflation using the Personal Consumption Expenditure Per Capita Index. The bill primarily affects small business owners and employers by reducing NLRB oversight of their labor disputes, while also requiring the Department of Commerce to publish annual inflation adjustments. The changes take effect on January 1, 2026, or when the bill is enacted, whichever is later. The legislation aims to reduce what its sponsors view as excessive federal labor regulation on smaller businesses.
