House Republican leaders on Thursday identified five pieces of legislation that they are embracing as a package to help small businesses struggling through the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Our party is often criticized for caring too much about business and not enough about people,” said House Minority Leader Nicholaus R. Kipke (R-Anne Arundel) during a virtual news conference. “But businesses are built by people, they are run by people, they create jobs for people.

The package of bills includes proposed tax breaks for businesses and individuals, legislation to shield small businesses and other entities from lawsuits related to COVID-19, and legislation to provide oversight of local health officers.
