Last week, NRMCA joined a broad coalition of business interests, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Businesses, which called on Congress to pass H.R. 7894, the Paycheck Protection Program Small Business Enhancement Act. This legislation contains many of NRMCA’s priorities in reforming the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), including allowing 501(c)6 non-profit organizations to apply for PPP loans and protecting the tax-deductibility of expenses.
