"Amid COVID-19's unprecedented damage to Americans' health and our nation's economy, I'mglad Congress wasable toworktogether in a bipartisan manner topass this additionalrelief packagethat replenishes funds for small businesses. Thisinterim package will improve the Paycheck Protection Program to ensure greater access for small businesses who were previously shut out by big lenders,provide robust funding for hospitals, health care workers,andincrease our ability to test for COVID-19. "Many of these improvements negotiatedin the bill would not be possible without the advocacy of House Democrats. We worked to make sure the legislation is truly for the people most in need of relief during thisdifficulttime, such as Main Street and the most vulnerable businesses,including minority and women owned companies. Congress mustensure funding and resources are swiftly and efficiently passed along to these Hoosiers and other Americans. Anything less is unacceptable." "This crisis is far from over, and Congress mustdo even more to help our fellow Americanssurvive this storm with their health and their livelihoods intact.Although today's bill falls short of additional provisions needed to help more workers, plus state and local governments, I am working with my colleagues to craft a bigger and bolder stimulus package that focuses on our economic recovery. But first, we must stop the transmission of COVID-19. We cannot have a healthy economy without healthy people. Now, more than ever, is the time forstrong leadership and real results.I vow to keepworking together to achieve this. Additional information on the legislation can be found here and here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
