Trump signs $484 billion bill to replenish small-business aid program
President Donald Trump on Friday signed into law a $484 billion measure that provides additional money for a coronavirus aid program for small businesses, following the Democratic-led House’s approval of the legislation on Thursday and the Republican-run Senate’s passage of it on Tuesday.
House lawmakers returned to Washington for a roll-call vote on the bill, called the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act. Many legislators wore face masks as they gave speeches on the chamber’s floor, and they voted in groups in an extended process in order to keep their distance from each other amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Thank you @RepKevinBrady for supporting congressional transparency by requesting the recorded vote on this enormous bailout package,” Massie said in a tweet on Thursday, referring to a top Republican from Texas.
