S. 1249 — PPP Flexibility for Farmers, Ranchers, and the Self-Employed Act

Summary

Senate bill S. 1249 of the 117th Congress, 1st Session, was introduced April 20, 2021, to amend the Small Business Act to modify the maximum paycheck protection program loan amount for farmers and ranchers, sole proprietors, independent contractors, and self-employed individuals. Cardin introduced it for himself and others named in the heading, and it was referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. The short title is the PPP Flexibility for Farmers, Ranchers, and the Self-Employed Act. Section 2 amends section 7(a)(36)(V) of the Small Business Act to define a covered recipient and let a lender recalculate the maximum loan amount at the recipient’s request. Section 7, headed Extension, also changes ‘‘March 31, 2021’’ to ‘‘June 30, 2021’’ in a set-asides provision.
