https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases/amodei-statement-house-bill-increase-eips-2000 Amodei Statement on House Bill to Increase EIP’s to $2,000 2020-12-28 2020 2020-12 Republican House NV Mark E. Amodei A000369 amodei.house.gov amodei https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases scraper FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Logan Tucker, 202-225-6155 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after the House voted on legislation to increase Economic Impact Payment amounts to $2,000: "Today the House voted on legislation to increase Economic Impact Payments to $2,000 for individuals making less than $75,000. "The COVID relief bill passed by Congress and signed into law by President Trump on December 27th contained strong assistance for individuals in the form of Economic Impact Payments totaling $600. However, these payments included no targeting requirements other than the general income limitations. Of significant importance to individuals who have pronounced needs are the added federal unemployment resources contained in the bill, the additional Paycheck Protection Program funds for those who value their employment and accompanying benefits, and the additional aid for maintaining access to healthcare operations at all levels. I supported this balanced funding, because it is targeted at continuing the pandemic healthcare battle while working to continue the economic recovery, which are co-equal and mutually important must-achieve goals. "When considering adding nearly half a trillion dollars to the price tag of that bill by enlarging the Economic Impact Payments mechanism, none of which is sitting in the U.S. Treasury, I fail to find any notion of cost benefit to individuals' economic wellbeing. I am sure there are individual instances that will be the exception to this analysis, but when considering the needs of all of the community, state, and federal spending interests, I am not left with the conclusion that increasing the sum of the total COVID relief bill by 50 percent is wise. Finally, since further federal rescue spending in 2021 is a certainty, I'm hoping that funds-borrowing foregone now will be put to better use in the near future with strong background facts to address future potential needs." 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-06-28T00:42:23Z

Amodei A000369 amodei.house.gov amodei https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases scraper FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Logan Tucker, 202-225-6155 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after voting to override a presidential veto of the National Defense Authorization Act: "I have read the President's veto message and I share many of the concerns contained therein. I have also read the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and have compared the President's concerns with the contents of the Conference Report between the House and the Senate. "First and foremost, if there is not an NDAA bill – which sustaining the President's veto would result in – there will be significant disruptions to military training in Nevada at NAS Fallon and Nevada Test and Training Range, including Creech and Nellis Air Force Bases. "Further, if the veto is sustained, any new NDAA bill would be crafted in a legislative environment where the White House and both chambers of Congress are potentially in Democratic control. That's not a win in view of some present strong points in the existing NDAA, which includes funding to: Provide a 3% pay raise to our troops, authorize extra pay for troops in combat zones, and support their families with the care and benefits they deserve; Ensure the DOD maintains a 30-day supply of PPE, ensure our troops have the diagnostic equipment and testing they need, and provide health benefits to Guardsmen supporting the COVID-19 response. This includes benefits for the Nevada National Guardsmen, who are playing a significant role in the COVID-19 fight in Nevada; Establish the Pacific Deterrence Initiative to fund emergent technologies, support our allies, and deter China. This authorizes several new provisions to counter Chinese industrial espionage, support Hong Kong and Taiwan, and protect our defense supply chain; Maintain prohibitions on the transfer of detainees from Guantanamo Bay; and Continue to support missile defense cooperation with Israel through the United States-Israel Assistance Act. "I agree with all of the goals to bri… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-06-28T00:42:23Z

Amodei A000369 amodei.house.gov amodei https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases scraper FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Logan Tucker, 202-225-6155 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after voting in favor of a bipartisan-bicameral omnibus appropriations bill to fund the government through the end of the Fiscal Year and a $900 billion COVID relief package: "Although long overdue, the passage of today's bills is certainly welcome news for the millions of Americans and small businesses who have suffered for months due to congressional inaction and intentional efforts by the House majority to block relief funding. "If you're also disappointed in the timing of these response efforts, it's worth noting that a number of the priorities included in today's COVID relief package are extremely similar, if not identical, to those proposed by Republicans over the last several months. Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi blocked all of those proposals, and even recently admitted she did so for political purposes as she had no intention of negotiating until after the November election. "Essentially, the Speaker went from her $3.3 trillion wish list of partisan priorities, to rejecting Secretary Mnuchin's $1.8 trillion offer just two months ago. As such, it's still incredibly unclear what the Democrats hoped to achieve with their strategy of holding up aid for families, hospitals, workers, and small businesses, while also delaying funding for vaccine procurement and distribution. "In the meantime, Republicans remained focused on providing targeted relief to small businesses, making vaccines available, and safely reopening our economy – and this package delivers on all of those fronts by providing approximately $900 billion in funding to extend the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), add deductibility for PPP expenses, support the purchase and distribution of vaccines, provide direct payments to individuals, and extend the unemployment programs created under the CARES Act. Additionally, this legislation provides appropriate levels of funding needed to support childca… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-06-28T00:42:23Z

Amodei A000369 amodei.house.gov amodei https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases scraper FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Logan Tucker, 202-225-6155 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after voting against H.R. 3884, the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act: "Since 1973, many states, including Nevada, have taken action to legalize or decriminalize penalties associated with the possession of marijuana. However, today's legislation goes far beyond those actions, as it has the potential to allow bad actors and criminal organizations to further exploit America's addiction crisis. Additionally, in a time of record deficits, I cannot support legislation that directs tax revenue from marijuana sales toward indeterminate social engineering. My concern is further heightened by Nevada's recent track record where recreational marijuana tax revenues were supposed to fund our public education system. That goal, from many viewpoints, has not materialized. "Instead of focusing on legislation that will not be signed into law before the end of this Congress, House leadership should be focused on prioritizing relief for families, businesses of all sizes, and our medical providers who are still struggling amid the ongoing pandemic." 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-06-28T00:42:23Z

"With the United States spending billions of dollars to manufacture currency, recent reports have suggested that modifying the metallic composition of coins would not only allow the Mint to begin producing coins at a more cost-effective rate, but could save taxpayers millions of dollars in the process," said Rep. Amodei. "However, until existing law is modified, the Mint does not have the authority to make that change, preventing it from operating as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. Our bill takes a balanced approach to modifying existing law in a way that maintains congressional oversight while finally allowing the Mint to produce coins at a rate that will significantly reduce costs incurred by taxpayers. Now more than ever, it's critical that we continue looking for innovative ways to reign in wasteful spending to ensure the most responsible use of hard-earned taxpayer dollars. I thank Congressman Gottheimer for teaming up with me on this common-sense solution that will alleviate some of the financial strains felt by taxpayers during these uncertain times." "Being able to keep our currency in circulation is critical to our nation's economy and small businesses, especially during this economic crisis," said Rep. Gottheimer. "I'm pleased that this bill will allow the U.S. Mint to use new technologies and methods to mint new coins so the nation does not suffer a shortage while also saving tax payer dollars."

Amodei A000369 amodei.house.gov amodei https://amodei.house.gov/news-releases scraper FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Logan Tucker, 202-225-6155 ELKO, Nev. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today announced his Rural Representative Martin Paris will be stepping down from his position in the Congressman's Elko Office to return home to Battle Mountain where he will help manage his family's ranching business. Congressman Amodei thanked Paris for his nearly five years of dedicated service. "On behalf of the constituents of CD-2, I want to thank Martin for his tireless work on the issues that are most important to our folks in the rurals. As a lifelong Nevadan with a strong ranching background, Martin's extensive knowledge and understanding of the unique needs of our rural communities has been an invaluable asset, and his successor will certainly have big shoes to fill. I wish Martin the best of luck as he transitions into this new chapter and thank him for his dedicated service to the Silver State." Background: As Congressman Amodei's Rural Representative, Paris assisted Nevadans by putting them in contact with federal, state, and local agencies. Prior to joining Congressman Amodei's staff, he worked as a resource technician at an environmental consulting company where he handled rangeland issues among other projects. Paris was born in Reno and grew up on his family's cattle ranch in Battle Mountain. After graduating from Battle Mountain High School, he attended California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, CA, where he graduated with a B.A. in political science in 2014. Amodei is the only federally elected official with an office presence in Elko and is in the process of finding a successor to Paris. ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-06-28T00:39:51Z

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after the U.S. Department of Interior announced it will award $12 millionto the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) to decontaminate its Facilities Services Building (FSB)which was previously occupied by the U.S. Bureau of Mines from 1920 to 1954. After testing confirmed the FSB's contamination by Radium-226 in 2016, the building was vacated and its occupants were relocated. Since learning of this issue, securing the funding needed for the remediation of this building has been a top priority of ours, said Rep. Amodei. It's encouraging to see our efforts pay off and to know the students and faculty who will soon utilize this historic facility will be able to do so safely. I'd like to recognize the House Appropriations Interior Subcommittee Chair, Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN), Ranking Member David Joyce (R-OH), and their staffs, all of whom were instrumental in helping us advance this priority on behalf of the Silver State. It's an honor to work alongside them on the Committee, and I'm grateful for their hard work, productivity, and thoughtful deliberation on this issue. Today's announcement that UNR will receive the fully requested funding amount is certainly welcome news, and I'm pleased to have finally arrived at a positive outcome that will ensure the continued health and safety of the entire UNR community while on campus. BACKGROUND: From 1920 to 1954, the U.S. Bureau of Mines occupied a facility at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) known as the Facilities Services Building (FSB).

Here we have another opportunity to make a meaningful difference through an agreement that is traditionally bipartisan, and instead, the Speaker chooses to bring a $1.5 trillion wish list disguised as an infrastructure bill to the Floor without bothering to find a way to pay for it. This bill focuses on everything but our nation's core infrastructure needs. Instead, it weaves wasteful Green New Deal mandates and bureaucratic hurdles throughout its various programs and proposals, many of which will be detrimental for folks in CD-2, as the bill disproportionately favors funding for urban areas at the expense of rural and suburban communities and reduces the flexibility of states and counties by smothering them in red tape. Essentially, unless you represent a major metropolitan area, this bill will make it increasingly difficult for our states and non-federal partners to secure resources for their infrastructure needs which are already scarce and hard to come by. Finally, the move to prioritize Green New Deal initiatives over our nation's critical transportation and infrastructure needs is especially rich, considering most Americans and lawmakers including the Speaker at one point did not take the Green New Deal seriously, and now, we're advancing legislation that ends up rewarding some of the biggest offenders of our environment.

"Finally, the move to prioritize Green New Deal initiatives over our nation's critical transportation and infrastructure needs is especially rich, considering most Americans and lawmakers – including the Speaker at one point – did not take the Green New Deal seriously, and now, we're advancing legislation that ends up rewarding some of the biggest offenders of our environment.

Mark Amodei (R-Nev. -02), Susie Lee (D-Nev.-03), Dina Titus (D-Nev.-01), and Steven Horsford (D-Nev.-04) released the following statement on the U.S. Small Business Administration's(SBA) newly updated guidelines to the Paycheck Protection Program(PPP), which excludesmall businessesthat generate more than 50 percent of their revenue from legal gaming from using the program: Gaming is a vital part of Nevada's economy, not just for big hotels and casinos, but also for local restaurants, bars, convenience stores, and other small businesses. The administration continues to refuse to treat these small businesses fairly, putting them and their employees in grave danger of economic ruin. As the Nevada House delegation, we will work together to deliver help to gaming small businesses and their employees in upcoming coronavirus response packages. BACKGROUND:PPP was enacted as part of theCoronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES)Acttoprovide small businesses with financial assistance tohelp them keep employees on payrollduring the COVID-19 pandemic. Theadministration's initialPPPguidelines excluded small businesses that generate more than a third of their revenue from legal gaming.In an effort to expand eligibility, the updated guidelinesexcludesmall businessesthat generate more than 50 percent of their revenue from legal gaming, which still unfairly impacts countless small businesses throughout Nevada. Last week, the bicameral, bipartisan Nevada congressional delegationsent a letterto House and Senate leadership urging them to include gaming small businesses in Nevada and across the country in PPP. Additionally, Rep. Amodei sent a letter to President Trump on April 7 to inform him of the issue and its need for his direct intervention. ### 1 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z

According to a report released by the Small Business Administration (SBA) this week, out of the $350 billion allocated for the PPP under the CARES Act, about $246 billion in loans have already been approved, leaving approximately $100 billion which is expected to be exhausted sometime this week. The good news is, we've been able to quickly get this money out to Nevada's small businesses, said Rep. Amodei. While I'm pleased this rescue-tool has been afforded to some of Nevada's small businesses, the discrimination against small gaming employers and their workers has left a permanent stain on the U.S. Treasury and the SBA. I suggest the Treasury Secretary and SBA Administrator refrain from scheduling any thank you' rallies in Nevada any time soon, as their irrational decision to refuse assistance to many deserving small businesses completely flies in the face of specific provisions contained in the CARES Act. Background: As of April 13, Nevada has approved a total of 4,209 PPP loan applications for small businesses, totaling $1,255,172,600 in assistance. The SBA's interim ruling regarding the PPP excluded small gaming businesses and their employees from receiving any assistance under the CARES Act due to a 25-year-old regulation. This discriminatory guidance renders small gaming businesses ineligible for critical loan assistance if they derive more than one-third of their revenue from legal gaming activities. The final interim ruling issued on April 14 still doesn't offer a statutory or practical fix, impacting communities across 43 states. Congressional intent in the CARES Act for the PPP was for all small businesses to be eligible. In fact, in Section 1102 of the CARES Act, the legislation explicitly stat… 1 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement in response to the Administration's recent announcement to facilitate the production or acquisition of 100,000 ventilators over the next 100 days for the Strategic National Stockpile through federal contracts awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to private manufacturers and suppliers: I want to thank HHS for its swift action in awarding these contracts to several manufacturers across the country. My thank you extends two-fold, as one of the recipients of an HHS contract is Hamilton Medical Corp of Reno. Hamilton is a Swiss-based ventilator production company with existing offices in Reno, who has, as a result of the HHS contract, established its first U.S. factory here in Reno. Nobody should be saying mission accomplished while we're still living in the midst of this challenge. However, this is an important piece in making sure our healthcare professionals have access to some of the most essential lifesaving tools needed in this fight. It is my understanding that production at the new Reno factory will begin before the end of the month. Background: The Division of Strategic National Stockpile (DSNS), of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), awarded a contract to Hamilton Medical Corp. for various HamiltonVentilators.

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) released the following statement today after voting against H.J. Res. 76, theBorrower Defense Rule, a resolution that would repeal President Trump's new rule to protect student borrowers while holding higher education institutions accountable, which is set to go into effect in July. H.J. Res. 76would replace the new rule with an Obama-era regulation that would harm students and taxpayers. If the federal government wants to completely forgive student loans, they should not use fraud accusations against institutions to do so on a wholesale basis. The Obama regulations failed to distinguish between fraud and inadvertent mistakes made by schools, a critical mistake considering the Department of Education can inflict significant financial penalties on institutions suspected of engaging in fraud, ultimately causing the institution to close despite no intentional offense. Going back to the Obama-era rule would completely undermine the Trump Administration's efforts to protect students under a rule that applies to all institutions. Additionally, students must provide evidence that they were actually harmed, a process that should already occur, especially if the claim is that a loan should be completely forgiven due to fraud. At a time when student enrollment at U.S. colleges is down by 11 percent from 2011, I believe students should be protected from institutions engaging in fraudulent activities to boost enrollment. However, I believe that such claims should be backed with evidence on the part of the student, a common-sense approach which is supported by the President's rule. Finally, the Obama Administration's borrower rule cost taxpayers $40 billion based on its broad implementation. If we let President Trump's rule go into effect this summer, it's expected to save taxpayers $11 billion while holding all institutions not just for-profits accountable for misrepresentations. ### 1 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
