This bill establishes a $200 million federal grant program to help small businesses recover from revenue losses caused by immigration enforcement actions. Eligible businesses must be located in areas where federal immigration enforcement has occurred within the past year, have lost at least 25 percent of revenue due to such enforcement disruptions, and operate no more than 15 locations. The Small Business Administration will award grants on a first-come, first-served basis, with individual businesses receiving up to $1 million total ($500,000 per location) to compensate for documented revenue losses, provided they have not received compensation from other sources. The bill includes fraud protections requiring applicants to verify their identity, provide tax returns, and undergo background checks to ensure ineligible parties do not receive funds.
