Paycheck Protection Small Business Forgiveness Act This bill modifies loan forgiveness under the Paycheck Protection Program established to support small businesses in response to COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019). Specifically, the bill provides for automatic forgiveness of a paycheck protection loan that is not more than $150,000 if the recipient submits a one-page form. Such form must allow a recipient to submit specified demographc and expenditure information, and certain individuals (e.g., the President, the Vice President, or the head of an executive department) are not eligible for such forgiveness. Further, the bill prohibits any enforcement or other action against a lender relating to loan origination, forgiveness, or guarantee based on the lender's reliance on certifications or documentation submitted by a loan applicant or recipient.

Paycheck Protection Program Small Business Forgiveness Act; H.R. 7777 and S. 4117 Take action for PPP loan forgiveness today by letting your representatives in Congress know that you support H.R. 7777 and S. 4117, the Paycheck Protection Program Small Business Forgiveness Act. If enacted, this bipartisan legislation would forgive all PPP loans of less than $150,000 upon the borrowers completion of a simple, one-page forgiveness document. Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act; H.R. 842 Last month the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, HR 842 was introduced in the House of Representatives. This bill seeks to radically rewrite our nations labor laws in favor of unions and at the expense of workers and employers. There are several troubling provisions in the law, but some of the most concerning include the following: Gives unions the power to demand employers not do business with other non-union companies Gives unions the sole determination over the manner elections are conducted-effectively eliminating secret balloting Eliminates workers rights to remove unions that have failed to adequately represent their interests Limits the ability of businesses and individuals to utilize independent contractors Bans all state right-to-work laws Eliminates the right of employers to withdraw recognition from a union, even upon evidence that all employees want the union out Mandates civil fines up to $50,000 for any unfair labor practice (double for repeat offenders), and $10,000 daily fines for non-compliance with any National Labor Relations Board order This legislation will kill jobs, strain supply chains, and significantly reduce opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses, and harm contractors across the country. Congress is currently considering increasing in taxes in a number of ways for small and independently owned businesses. Some of the proposed policies include the following: raising the tax rate on pass-through corporations, capping the Section 199A deduction, increasing the capital gains tax, and imposing a double tax on estate transfers after death. Obviously, these policies would increase operating expenses as contractors are already contending with issues like inflation as well as supply and labor shortages. Congress is also considering a bank account reporting requirement that would require financial institutions to send information to the IRS on accounts with over $10,000 in gross inflows/outflows. This policy would affect the majority of taxpayers and would also carry massive privacy and security implications. It would also increase tax preparation costs and create operational challenges for financial institutions
