ABC Issues a Key Vote on Amendment to Support Small and Midsize Businesses in Coronavirus Legislation

March 18, 2020

ABC issued a key vote to the Senate on an amendment submitted by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.). The amendment would replace the mandated paid leave requirements of the House-passed Families First Coronavirus Response Act (H.R. 6201) that would affect employers with fewer than 500 employees with unemployment insurance capped at $1000 per week. ABC believes this would be a more effective way to provide immediate relief for those employees and families affected by the coronavirus.
