Breaking News—House Passes the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Flexibility Act—PPP Update
The bill, authored by House Representative Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) and Chip Roy (R-Texas), passed with a 417-1 vote and is now awaiting a Senate vote.

The legislation seeks to relax several of the cumbersome restrictions on small businesses’ use of PPP funds. Specifically, this bill would relax the requirement for small businesses to use 75% of PPP loan proceeds on payroll, leaving only 25% of funds to spend on other operating expenses such as rent and utilities. Learn more on these proposed rules changes in the article by Anjuli B. Woods, ECG’s Attorney and Shareholder, at https://www.ecg.law/blog/ppp-update-house-passes-the-paycheck-protection-program-ppp-flexibility-act.
