Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Small Business Act to prohibit abortion pro- viders from receiving a covered loan under the paycheck protection program, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the Abortion Providers Loan Elimination Act, aims to prohibit abortion providers from receiving loans through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) established under the Small Business Act. The bill cites findings that Planned Parenthood, a large nonprofit organization, improperly received $80 million in PPP loans despite having over 500 employees, which should have disqualified it under the program's affiliation rules. The bill proposes amending the Small Business Act to explicitly prohibit individuals or entities that provide abortions from receiving PPP loans, with exceptions for hospitals and entities that exclusively provide certain abortions. Additionally, the bill requires the Small Business Administration Inspector General to investigate and report on the number of PPP loans made to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.
