The Senate passed by unanimous consent Tuesday afternoon an interim emergency relief bill to replenish the Paycheck Protection Program, which ran out of money last week.
“This is a significant package,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said on the Senate floor before the vote.
The bill includes $320 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program, $75 billion for hospitals and $25 billion for COVID-19 testing.
“Even with the partisanship here, we can come together, unanimously, in a time of great crisis,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the Senate floor, adding that a number of “required fixes” needed to be made.
