Our local business, one that is focused on providing a family-like, homelike setting for the older adult population in our community, stands at risk due to House Bill 3838. This bill, if passed, will directly disrupt the functioning of our small enterprise and others like it. It is essential that we are aware and understand the grave implications this legislation may carry for every small business built on the foundation of service and care.

Government statistics reveal that small businesses are the backbone of our economy, providing local jobs and services (Office of Advocacy, U.S. Small Business Administration). Bills like House Bill 3838 could create obstacles that deter the growth and operations of such enterprises. It's important to protect our small businesses, especially during these already challenging times.

Our older adults deserve to receive quality care in an environment that feels like home. Our business and many others are striving to provide just that. But if this bill becomes a law, it would be detrimental to our efforts.

Let's band together as a community, as a nation, to oppose House Bill 3838. Your support could help save our business and many others that serve our communities selflessly. Raise your voice to ensure the well-being of our older adults and the preservation of small businesses. Sign this petition to show your opposition to House Bill 3838!
