This bill provides specified funds to the Department of the Treasury to establish a payroll loan facility that provides loans to small financial institutions. These loans must offer, to the maximum extent practicable, benefits and assistance similar to the Paycheck Protection Program created in response to the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic.
