Title: PPP Small Business Support Act
Policy area: Commerce

Summary:
PPP Small Business Support Act
This bill revises reimbursement requirements pursuant to which the Small Business Administration (SBA) provides funds to lenders participating in the Paycheck Protection Program established to support small businesses in response to COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019).
Specifically, the bill requires the SBA to give a lender that makes a paycheck protection loan a reimbursement of $1,000 for each such loan, with graduated additional amounts distributed to a lender based on the amount of the loan. The bill also provides a further reimbursement of $250 for each paycheck protection loan that a lender with consolidated assets of less than $50 billion provides to a new customer.
Further, the bill requires the SBA to determine whether demand for paycheck protection loans is likely to exceed any future appropriated amounts and, if so, to prioritize providing guarantees for loans of $300,000 or less.

                                    ``(II) In addition to the amount in 
                                subclause (I), an amount based on the 
                                balance of the financing outstanding at 
                                the time of disbursement of the covered

                                        amount of such balance that 
                                        does not exceed $100,000, plus
                                            ``(bb) 3 percent of the 
                                        amount of such balance that 
                                        exceeds $100,000 but does not 
                                        exceed $1,000,000, plus
                                            ``(cc) 0.2 percent of the 
                                        amount of such balance that

                    (B) by redesignating clauses (ii) through (iv) as 
                clauses (iii) through (v), respectively; and
                    (C) by inserting after clause (i) the following new 
                clause:
                            ``(ii) Small lenders.--In addition to 
                        reimbursement received under clause (i), the 
                        Administrator shall reimburse a lender with 
                        consolidated assets of less than 
                        $50,000,000,000 that is authorized to make a 
                        covered loan $250 for each covered loan made to 
                        an eligible recipient, if such eligible 
                        recipient was not a customer of such lender 
                        before applying for assistance under this 
                        paragraph.''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
                    ``(X) Prioritization.--With respect to amounts 
                appropriated to carry out this paragraph on or after 
                the date of the enactment of this subparagraph, the 
                Administrator shall, for each such appropriation, in 
                consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, 
                determine whether the projected aggregate demand for 
                covered loans under this paragraph will likely exceed 
                the amount appropriated to carry out this paragraph 
                and, if the Administrator so determines, the 
                Administrator and Secretary shall, prior to the 
                obligation of any such appropriated amounts, jointly 
                develop a process to prioritize providing guarantees 
                for covered loans with a principal amount of $300,000 
                or less using such appropriated funds.''.
