NASE Opposes SHOP SAFE
NASE joined an expansive coalition in opposing “SHOP SAFE” provision included in the House “COMPETES BILL”.

NASE believes that the INFORM Act changes address the concerns that supporters of the SHOP SAFE Act believe are important to ensure a competitive, international landscape, without harming small businesses that leverage online platforms.
