Bill — S. 4560, forgivable loan program for remote recreational businesses (Senate, September 10, 2020)

Summary

S. 4560 was introduced in the Senate of the United States on September 10, 2020 by Ms. Smith (for herself, Ms. Klobuchar, and Mrs. Murray) and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. It would direct the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to establish a forgivable loan program for remote recreational businesses. A remote recreational business is a small business concern operating in the recreational industry that is located within 75 miles of the United States and Canadian border and only accessible by land via Canada. Eligible businesses experienced a loss in revenue greater than 50 percent during the period beginning on March 1, 2020, and ending on July 1, 2020.
