Senate Republican leaders today released a roughly $500 billion COVID-19 relief package that would provide additional assistance for priorities, including small businesses, enhanced unemployment insurance, child care, COVID-19 testing and schools.
The legislation also would provide liability protections from certain lawsuits related to COVID-19. Senate Republican leaders plan to hold a vote this week on the legislation.
