                    (F) Priority.--In making subgrants under this 
                section, the lead agency shall give priority to

                    (G) Providers receiving other assistance.--The lead

    (a) Establishment.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary shall establish a pilot 
        program to test whether the impact of staying automatic child 
        support enforcement and cost recovery efforts improves family 
        outcomes in cases under the State program funded under part A 
        of title IV of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) 
        while a non-custodial parent participates in a healthy marriage 
        or responsible fatherhood program carried out under section 
        403(a)(2) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 603(a)(2)),

        defined in section 409(a)(7)(B)(i) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 
        609(a)(7)(B)(i))), or under any other program funded with non-

        program--
                    (A) shall not apply paragraph (3) of section 408(a) 
                of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 608(a)) to a

                program funded under part A of title IV of such Act (42 
                U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
                    (B) shall not refer the child's case to the State 
                program funded under part D of title IV of the Social 
                Security Act (42 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) or apply a penalty 
                against the child's family based on the custodial 
                parent's noncooperation with child support activities 
                with respect to the child under paragraph (2) of 
                section 408(a) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 608(a)), but

                409(a)(5) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 609(a)(5));
                    (D) notwithstanding subparagraph (B), any such 
                individual shall retain the right to apply for child 
                support services under section 454(4)(A)(ii) of the 
                Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 654(4)(A)(ii)) with 
                respect to a child of the individual;
                    (E) if the child has an open child support case 
                with the State agency responsible for administering the 
                State plan under part D of title IV of the Social 
                Security Act (42 U.S.C. 651 et seq.), such State 
                agency, shall suspend any activity to establish or 
                enforce a support order with respect to the child 
                (other than to establish the paternity of the child), 
                and monthly child support obligations shall be 
                suspended and shall not accrue, but only if both 
                parents of the child agree in writing to the 
                suspension; and
                    (F) if child support activities are suspended in a 
                case by agreement of both parents in accordance with 
                subparagraph (E), may exclude the case in determining

                the Secretary are complete and reliable for purposes of 
                that section and section 452 of such Act (42 U.S.C.

        submitted pursuant to section 452(a)(4)(C)(i) of such Act and 
        which is used in determining a performance level is not 
        complete or reliable for purposes of section 458(b)(5)(B) of 
        such Act, on the basis of the failure of the State to submit

            (8) Any increase in the Federal medical assistance 
        percentage for a State resulting from the application of this 
        subsection shall not be taken into account for purposes of

        Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 657).

                Subtitle B--Minority Business Resiliency

SEC. 4201. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Minority Business Resiliency 
Act of 2020''.

SEC. 4202. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) During times of economic downturn or recession, 
        communities of color, and businesses within those communities, 
        are generally more adversely affected, which requires an 
        expansion of the ability of the Federal Government to infuse 
        resources into those communities.
            (2) Despite the growth in the number of minority business 
        enterprises, gaps remain with respect to key metrics for those 
        enterprises, such as access to capital, revenue, number of 
        employees, and survival rate. Specifically--
                    (A) according to the Department of Commerce, 
                minority business enterprises are 2 to 3 times more 
                likely to be denied loans than non-minority business 
                enterprises;
                    (B) according to the Bureau of the Census, the 
                average non-minority business enterprise reports 
                receipts that are more than 3 times higher than 
                receipts reported by the average minority business 
                enterprise; and
                    (C) according to the Kauffman Foundation--
                            (i) minority business enterprises are \1/2\ 
                        as likely to employ individuals, as compared 
                        with non-minority business enterprises; and
                            (ii) if minorities started and owned 
                        businesses at the same rate as non-minorities, 
                        the United States economy would have more than 
                        1,000,000 additional employer businesses and 
                        more than 9,500,000 additional jobs.
            (3) Because of the conditions described in paragraph (2), 
        it is in the interest of the United States and the economy of 
        the United States to expeditiously ameliorate the disparities 
        that minority business enterprises experience.
            (4) Many individuals who own minority business enterprises 
        are socially disadvantaged because those individuals identify 
        as members of certain groups that have suffered the effects of 
        discriminatory practices or similar circumstances over which 
        those individuals have no control, including individuals who 
        are--
                    (A) Black or African American;
                    (B) Hispanic or Latino;
                    (C) American Indian or Alaska Native;
                    (D) Asian; and
                    (E) Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander.
            (5) Discriminatory practices and similar circumstances 
        described in paragraph (4) are a significant determinant of 
        overall economic disadvantage in the United States, which is 
        evident in the persistent racial wealth gap in the United 
        States.
            (6) While other Federal agencies focus only on small 
        businesses and businesses that represent a broader demographic 
        than solely minority business enterprises, the Agency focuses 
        exclusively on--
                    (A) the unique needs of minority business 
                enterprises; and
                    (B) enhancing the capacity of minority business 
                enterprises.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this subtitle are to--
            (1) require the Agency to promote and administer programs 
        in the public and private sectors to assist the development of 
        minority business enterprises; and
            (2) achieve the development described in paragraph (1) by 
        authorizing the Assistant Secretary to carry out programs that 
        will result in increased access to capital, management, and 
        technology for minority business enterprises.

        Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Deposit 
        Insurance Corporation, National Credit Union Administration, 
        and other Federal agencies should take steps to support, engage 
        with, and utilize minority depository institutions and 
        community development financial institutions in the near term, 
        especially as they carry out programs to respond to the COVID-
        19 pandemic, and the long term.
            (2) The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 
        should, consistent with its mandates, work to increase lending 
        by minority depository institutions and community development 
        financial institutions to underserved communities, and when 
        appropriate, should work with the Department of the Treasury to 
        increase lending by minority depository institutions and 
        community development financial institutions to underserved 
        communities.
            (3) The Department of the Treasury and prudential 
        regulators should establish a strategic plan identifying 
        concrete steps that they can take to support existing minority 
        depository institutions, as well as the formation of new 
        minority depository institutions consistent with the goals 
        established in the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and 
        Enforcement Act of 1989 to preserve and promote minority 
        depository institutions.
            (4) Congress should increase funding and make other 
        enhancements, including those provided by this legislation, to 
        enhance the effectiveness of the CDFI Fund, especially reforms 
        to support minority-owned and minority led CDFIs in times of 
        crisis and beyond.
            (5) Congress should conduct robust and ongoing oversight of 
        the Department of the Treasury, CDFI Fund, Federal prudential 
        regulators, SBA, and other Federal agencies to ensure they 
        fulfill their obligations under the law as well as implement 
        this title and other laws in a manner that supports and fully 
        utilizes minority depository institutions and community 
        development financial intuitions, as appropriate.
            (6) The investments made by the Secretary of the Treasury 
        under this subtitle and the amendments made by this subtitle 
        should be designed to maximize the benefit to low- and

SEC. 4507. ENSURING DIVERSITY IN COMMUNITY BANKING.

    (a) Sense of Congress on Funding the Loan-loss Reserve Fund for 
Small Dollar Loans.--The sense of Congress is the following:
            (1) The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund 
        (referred to in this subsection as the ``CDFI Fund'') is an 
        agency of the Department of the Treasury, and was established 
        under section 104(a) of the Community Development Banking and 
        Financial Institutions Act of 1994 (12 U.S.C. 4703(a)). The 
        mission of the CDFI Fund is ``to expand economic opportunity 
        for underserved people and communities by supporting the growth 
        and capacity of a national network of community development 
        lenders, investors, and financial service providers''. A 
        community development financial institution is a specialized 
        financial institution serving low-income communities and a 
        Community Development Entity (referred to in this subsection as 
        a ``CDE'') is a domestic corporation or partnership that is an 
        intermediary vehicle for the provision of loans, investments, 
        or financial counseling in low-income communities. The CDFI 
        Fund certifies community development financial institutions and 
        CDEs. Becoming a certified community development financial 
        institution or CDE allows organizations to participate in 
        various CDFI Fund programs as follows:
                    (A) The Bank Enterprise Award Program, which 
                provides FDIC-insured depository institutions awards 
                for a demonstrated increase in lending and investments 
                in distressed communities and community development 
                financial institutions.
                    (B) The CDFI Program, which provides financial and 
                technical assistance awards to community development 
                financial institutions to reinvest in the CDFI Fund, 
                and to build the capacity of the CDFI Fund, including 
                financing product development and loan loss reserves.
                    (C) The Native American CDFI Assistance Program, 
                which provides CDFIs and sponsoring entities Financial 
                and Technical Assistance awards to increase lending and 
                grow the number of CDFIs owned by Native Americans to 
                help build capacity of such CDFIs.
                    (D) The New Market Tax Credit Program, which 
                provides tax credits for making equity investments in 
                CDEs that stimulate capital investments in low-income 
                communities.
                    (E) The Capital Magnet Fund, which provides awards 
                to CDFIs and nonprofit affordable housing organizations 
                to finance affordable housing solutions and related 
                economic development activities.
                    (F) The Bond Guarantee Program, a source of long-
                term, patient capital for CDFIs to expand lending and 
                investment capacity for community and economic 
                development purposes.
            (2) The Department of the Treasury is authorized to create 
        multi-year grant programs designed to encourage low-to-moderate 
        income individuals to establish accounts at federally insured 
        banks, and to improve low-to-moderate income individuals' 
        access to such accounts on reasonable terms.
            (3) Under this authority, grants to participants in CDFI 
        Fund programs may be used for loan-loss reserves and to 
        establish small-dollar loan programs by subsidizing related 
        losses. These grants also allow for the providing recipients 
        with the financial counseling and education necessary to 
        conduct transactions and manage their accounts. These loans 
        provide low-cost alternatives to payday loans and other 
        nontraditional forms of financing that often impose excessive 
        interest rates and fees on borrowers, and lead millions of 
        people in the United States to fall into debt traps. Small-
        dollar loans can only be made pursuant to terms, conditions, 
        and practices that are reasonable for the individual consumer 
        obtaining the loan.
            (4) Program participation is restricted to eligible 
        institutions, which are limited to organizations listed in 
        section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and 
        exempt from tax under 501(a) of such Code, federally insured 
        depository institutions, community development financial 
        institutions and State, local, or Tribal governmental entities.
            (5) Since its founding, the CDFI Fund has awarded over 
        $3,300,000,000 to CDFIs and CDEs and has allocated 
        $54,000,000,000 in tax credits and $1,510,000,000 in bond 
        guarantees. According to the CDFI Fund, some programs attract 
        as much as $10 in private capital for every $1 invested by the 
        CDFI Fund. The Administration and Congress should prioritize 
        appropriation of funds for the loan loss reserve fund and 
        technical assistance programs administered by the CDFI Fund.

        value of the loans extended by such depository institution to

        the assets of such bank.

                    (B) with respect to a depository institution that 
                is designated as an impact bank, necessary to ensure 
                the depository institution's ongoing qualifications to 
                maintain such designation.
            (5) Removal of designation.--If the appropriate Federal 
        banking agency determines that a depository institution 
        designated as an impact bank no longer meets the criteria for 
        such designation, the appropriate Federal banking agency shall 
        rescind the designation and notify the depository institution 
        of such rescission.
            (6) Reconsideration of designation; appeals.--Under such

                agency a request to reconsider a determination that 
                such depository institution no longer meets the

            (7) Rulemaking.--Not later than 1 year after the date of

        taken to carry out this subsection.

        the meanings given such terms, respectively, in section 3 of 
        the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1813).

      TITLE V--DOWNPAYMENT ON BUILDING 21ST CENTURY INFRASTRUCTURE

SEC. 5001. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) This Act is a major proposal to re-program billions of 
        unspent CARES Act (Public Law 116-136) funding in immediate and 
        long-term investments in Black communities and other 
        communities of color.
            (2) The current COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionally 
        impacted communities of color and exacerbated the conditions 
        that, combined with persistently underfunded critical 
        priorities like public health, child care, infrastructure, and 
        job creation, have led to record levels of poverty and 
        sickness.
            (3) The historical record of Federal underinvestment in 
        communities of color has created systematic disparities that 
        cross nearly every economic sector and require Congressional 
        and Executive action to undo.
            (4) This Act makes critical short-term investments to 
        respond to these disparities exacerbated by the pandemic, in 
        areas like in child care, mental health and primary care, and 
        job creation.
            (5) This Act has a secondary objective of helping to build 
        long lasting wealth, health, and economic stability in these 
        communities with an initial commitment to be made over the next 
        5 years through investments in infrastructure, a homeowner down 
        payment tax credit, Medicaid expansion, and more.
            (6) This Act is not the conclusion of efforts in this 
        space, but an initial down payment to communities of color and 
        the first in many focused investments and policy initiatives to 
        begin dismantling systematic racism.

SEC. 5143. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--

                    (A) participate in the society, economy, and civic 
                institutions of the United States; and
                    (B) access health care and essential services, 
                obtain education, and build careers;
            (2) digital exclusion--
                    (A) carries a high societal and economic cost;
                    (B) materially harms the opportunity of an 
                individual with respect to the economic success, 
                educational achievement, positive health outcomes, 
                social inclusion, and civic engagement of that 
                individual; and
                    (C) exacerbates existing wealth and income gaps, 
                especially those experienced by covered populations;
            (3) achieving digital equity for all people of the United 
        States requires additional and sustained investment and 
        research efforts;
            (4) the Federal Government, as well as State, Tribal, 
        territorial, and local governments, have made social, legal, 
        and economic obligations that necessarily extend to how the 
        citizens and residents of those governments access and use the 
        internet; and
            (5) achieving digital equity is a matter of social and 
        economic justice and is worth pursuing.

                            (i) the grant funds are not contributing to 
                        the development or execution of the State 
                        Digital Equity Plan of the State, as 
                        applicable; and
                            (ii) the State is not upholding assurances 
                        made by the State to the Assistant Secretary 
                        under subsection (e); and
                    (B) determines that the grant is no longer 
                necessary to achieve the original purpose for which 
                Assistant Secretary awarded the grant.
            (2) Redistribution.--If the Assistant Secretary, in a

                database, which shall be accessible on the internet at 
                no cost to the public, that contains, at a minimum--
                            (i) the application of each State that has
