$409 Million in Funding for Small Business Pandemic Relief

Persistent efforts by NFIB have resulted in $409 million in federal funding being dedicated to assist small businesses suffering financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Previous legislation being supported by NFIB that included COVID relief funds for small business was vetoed by Governor Whitmer earlier in 2021. NFIB worked with legislative leaders to tie the small business relief to other spending priorities wanted by the governor to get the bill over the finish line in the last week of session.
