This bill will permit those small businesses to use their work in joint ventures or as subcontractors to count as past performance.
However, that excitement has turned to frustration. Many constituent business owners have reached out to my office because they are waiting weeks or months to hear anything about their EIDL application.
We need to move, and we need to move quickly, and that is one of the reasons I think this legislation that the President has put before us is extremely important.
Gun violence is a public health issue. Just this year alone, we have seen more than 10,000 deaths and more than 40,000 gun-related incidences. We have run out of excuses to not act on this. These are people's lives we are talking about, and while we move forward with long-overdue discussions on gun control legislation, we cannot forget the victims of gun violence, who already deal with the daily consequences of inaction. The Resources for Victims of Gun Violence Act, which I introduced with Senator Bob Casey, would establish an interagency advisory council to connect these victims with critical information, programs, and benefits they need. I urge all Members to join us in supporting this common sense legislation.
