AI Summary
This bill amends the Small Business Act and the CARES Act to establish a program for "second draw" loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and make other modifications to the PPP. The key provisions include:
- Expanding the allowable uses of PPP loan proceeds to cover additional expenses like operations, property damage, supplier costs, and worker protection expenditures.
- Providing a "safe harbor" for lenders that rely on borrower certifications in originating or forgiving PPP loans.
- Allowing borrowers to select their own covered period for loan forgiveness.
- Establishing a simplified forgiveness application process for loans under $150,000 and loans between $150,000 and $2 million.
- Allowing certain nonprofit organizations, including some 501(c)(6) groups, to be eligible for PPP loans.
- Prohibiting the use of PPP loan proceeds for lobbying activities.
- Creating a new "Second Draw" PPP loan program for small businesses that have experienced significant revenue declines.
The bill aims to build on and expand the existing PPP to provide continued support to small businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
