You've asked us to keep you informed about legislation that could affect your business, so we wanted to let you know about HB 4894, a proposed tax on digital advertising currently being considered by the Illinois legislature. If this passes, your cost of running online ads could increase by 10%.

Join fellow Illinois business leaders in sharing concerns about this bill. Sign the Connected Commerce Council's letter asking your representatives to support IL businesses and oppose HB 4894.

Context: As you know, businesses run low-cost digital advertising to efficiently reach customers. Digital ads help level the playing field and enable small businesses to compete with big advertisers with larger budgets. If policymakers pass HB 4894, it could add considerable costs for small businesses and make it harder for your business to grow and succeed.

What you can do: Lawmakers need to hear why this bill is bad for Illinois businesses. Take 60 seconds and add your name to this letter today, encouraging your representatives to support the Illinois business community and oppose HB 4894.
