Rubio Statement on Senate Passage of House PPP Bill (U.S. Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurship)
Summary
In 2020, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, issued this statement on June 4 after the Senate passed the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (H.R. 7010). Rubio says Congress came together to give small business owners flexibility in using PPP loans as the economy begins to reopen, and thanks the Administration for its commitment to address the bill's "inadvertent technical errors" that could create unintended consequences for businesses seeking forgiveness. If the Administration cannot address them, Rubio says, Congress will need to fix them through further legislation, made harder by House Democrats' decision to recess for the entire month. The statement calls the PPP "a pro-worker, bipartisan program" that has protected 50 million employees. The release says the bill then headed to the President for signature.
