Summary

S. 3654, the Rural Health Relief Act, was introduced May 7, 2020 by Ms. Smith (for herself, Mr. Barrasso, Mrs. Hyde-Smith, and Mrs. Fischer) and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. It is a bill to provide that certain public hospitals are eligible for loans under the Paycheck Protection Program.

It adds covered hospitals to the eligibility provisions in subparagraph (D).
