C
ongressman Tom Suozzi (D— Glen Cove) is pushing for the RESTAURANTS Act of 2020 to pass in the House of Representatives. If it passes, $120 billion will be allocated to save local restaurants and catering halls as the coronavirus pandemic continues to hurt America’s small businesses. Unlike the paycheck protect program, the RESTAURANTS Act proposes that business owners who receive compensation will not have to pay back the grants. The bill calls the $120 billion package the Restaurant Stabilization Fund, which will actually generate about $183 billion in benefits, with an additional $65 billion in secondary benefits. “In return, use of the Restaurant Stabilization Fund would not only help reduce unemployment, but would also jump start the economy by instilling confidence in consumers to re-engage in other economic activity,” the bill reads.
