The Bipartisan COVID-19 Emergency Relief Act of 2020 provides as much as $748 billion in relief to Americanstudents, families, businesses, workers, and health care providersduring this crisis. The Bipartisan State and Local Support and Small Business Protection Act of 2020 provides $160 billion in funding for state and local governments and liability protections if an agreement is reached on liability protections. COVID infections are rising. Small businesses owners and their employees are afraid of going bankrupt and losing their jobs. Families are wondering how to afford food and rent. This bill reflects weeks of good-faith negotiations from both Republicans and Democrats to find a solution that delivers relief to struggling Americans. This is Congress' last chance to pass a relief bill before Christmas. We must deliver for the good of our country,said Dr. Cassidy.
