The Senate Republicans have finally (finally!) dropped their initial volley in the battle for the next COVID package with the Health, Economic Assistance, Liability Protection and Schools (HEALS) Act. Originally expected last Wednesday, the bill was released in 20+ individual documents over several hours this evening, with one unifying document still not available at the time of writing.

This bill will see significant changes before passage if passage occurs. NPMA will continue updating membership on iterations of the legislation.
