H.R. 7845 — Remote Recreational Small Business Interruption Program (July 29, 2020)

Summary

House bill 7845 of the 116th Congress, 2D Session, is the Remote Recreational Small Business Interruption Program, a bill to direct the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to establish a forgivable loan program for remote recreational businesses.
