In closing, small employers have experienced great hardships throughout the pandemic, but today we have the opportunity to make it easier, not harder, to comply with Federal regulations. The ombudsman's centralized website will streamline the compliance process for small businesses and ensure they have the most accurate and updated information. I thank the committee members for their diligence in advancing this piece of legislation. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'', and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Velazquez) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 4877. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
