Congress has passed the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020, HR 7010, a bill supported by the National Newspaper Association.
The Senate on June 3 agreed to HR 7010, which provides borrowers with loosened rules for keeping the small businesses open during the coronavirus pandemic with small business loans.
Updated 6/14/2020 — Congress allowed businesses that received loans to spend the Paycheck Protection Program loan funds up to Dec. 31, 2020, or for 24 weeks following receipt of the loan, whichever time period is earlier.
