U.S. Chamber of Commerce July Bulletin

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Permanent tax relief delivers results for workers, businesses, and communities.
• The U.S. Chamber secured 12 Supreme Court wins this term, bringing more certainty to businesses and customers.

Working Families Tax Cuts Turns One. Certainty Accelerates Growth.

One year after the Working Families Tax Cuts Act became law, American businesses are investing, hiring, and growing. The U.S. Chamber has spent the year bringing small businesses, community leaders, and members of Congress together to discuss the real-world impact of these pro-growth tax reforms.

Why it matters: Permanent tax relief gives businesses the certainty they need to invest in their communities and workers and grow their businesses.

What we're doing: Earlier this year, members of the U.S. Chamber's Small Business Council visited Capitol Hill to highlight how pro-growth tax provisions are working in their communities.

• A Montana beverage wholesaler used the new law to promote from within and fill critical leadership gaps.
• A Minnesota manufacturer bought specialized welding equipment, took on new business, and created training opportunities for workers.

And: The U.S. Chamber has partnered with state and local chambers to host nearly 100 roundtables connecting members of Congress with local business owners, turning policy into a two-way conversation about real-world impact.

Our take: "The Working Families Tax Cuts Act has been a gamechanger for American workers, businesses, and communities," said U.S. Chamber Executive Vice President Neil Bradley. "That has resulted in more opportunities for businesses and workers, stronger communities, and a more competitive American economy."

U.S. Chamber Secures Major SCOTUS Wins for Business

The U.S. Chamber's Litigation Center closed the U.S. Supreme Court's 2025-26 term with 12 victories, protecting the Constitution's separation of powers and reinforcing meaningful limits on liability.

Why it matters: These rulings bring greater regulatory and legal certainty, while lowering costs for businesses and their customers.

Key takeaways:

• Separation of powers: We defended constitutional limits on executive authority, securing wins on tariff power, executive oversight of FTC commissioners, and Federal Reserve independence.
• Limits on liability: We beat back trial bar overreach with three decisions reinforcing that liability must be grounded in what Congress actually wrote—not what plaintiffs' lawyers had wished it wrote.

Bottom line: Courtroom advocacy is one of the most powerful ways the U.S. Chamber serves the business community, and this term delivered results that will shape the regulatory and legal landscape for years to come.
