Since the CARES Act took effect on March 25, 2020, there has been an unrelenting push for the passage of follow-up legislation to provide American businesses and individual citizens with additional Covid-relief. The Democrat-backed HEROES Act and the Republican HEALS Act emerged as the two competing bills most likely to succeed the CARES Act.[1]<\/a>\u00a0However, to date, a divided Congress has not been able to secure passage of either legislative proposal due to interference from the White House and ongoing disagreements as to the scope of the financial relief to be provided and the degree of legal immunity to be granted.[2]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congressional Democrats had been previously unwilling to entertain a piece-meal relief package to facilitate even if it would allow the flow of at least some money into the economy; however, the results of the presidential election have shifted that stance.[3]<\/a>\u00a0Now, it seems there may be hope for the 2020 passage of a smaller relief package of $908 billion, which is half of what Democrats have demanded, but double what Republicans have offered.[4]<\/a>\u00a0The new relief package has been put forth by the bicameral and bipartisan Problemsolvers Caucus as a last effort to pass Covid-relief legislation before 2021.[5]<\/a>\u00a0Thus far, the proposal seems to have been favorably received both by Democratic leader, Nancy Pelosi, and Republican leader, Mitch McConnell.[6]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The terms of the Problemsolvers\u2019 package have not yet been reduced to a formal bill, but the Caucus has published both a Press Release[7]<\/a>\u00a0and a \u201cframework\u201d[8]<\/a>\u00a0for the proposed relief. The framework indicates that the legislation would \u201c[p]rovide short term Federal protection from Coronavirus related lawsuits with the purpose of giving states time to develop their own response.\u201d[9]<\/a>\u00a0This differs significantly from the immunity provisions contained in the Republican\u2019s July 27, 2020 SAFE TO WORK Act, which specifically sought to preempt the current patchwork of state laws as to businesses\u2019 and health care providers\u2019 liability for Covid-related claims of negligence by providing an exclusive federal cause of action for same.[10]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stotler Hayes Group, LLC (\u201cSHG\u201d) will continue to aggressively monitor the Problemsolvers Caucus proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
