• Liability Protections: Manufacturers are asking for commonsense protections against COVID-19-related lawsuits for businesses that have done their best to comply with varying safety requirements
  • Tax Relief: Manufacturers urge Congress to immediately access tax relief by making general business tax credits refundable, enhancing the employee retention tax credit and ensuring that payments made with PPP funds are deductible
  • Paycheck Protection Program: As small businesses work through challenges posed by COVID-19, Congress should modify the PPP by making more types of businesses eligible, providing more flexibility in the loan forgiveness process and allowing manufacturers that need it to receive additional funds from the program.
