Among the GOP bill's key provisions as laid out by McConnell:
Another round of $1,200 checks for individuals ($2,400 for married couples), with more support for adult dependents.
A “sequel†to the Paycheck Protection Program, the widely praised small business rescue program that has provided more than $500 billion to companies with fewer than 500 employees. The GOP proposal would target hard-hit firms with 300 or fewer workers a second opportunity to draw from the fund.
A continued federal supplement to state unemployment insurance. The weekly amount is “eight times what Democrats put in place when they controlled the White House and Congress during the Great Recession," McConnell said.
$100 billion to help schools and universities reopen fully, a priority of President Donald Trump.
$16 billion to expand state testing with an emphasis on schools, child care facilities and nursing homes.
$26 billion for development of vaccines and therapeutic remedies to treat COVID-19.
Freezing 2021 Medicare premiums at 2020 levels.
Economic incentives to boost worker retention.
Liability protections for medical workers, schools, and employers.
More funding for personal protective equipment to help first responders avoid infection from COVID-19.
