Legislators in Washington are working on another stimulus package.

Congressman Darin LaHood indicates litigation protections for businesses against coronavirus infections need to be included. He says a lawsuit is the last thing small businesses need who are already hurting.

Congressman LaHood voiced his concerns on unemployment compensation from the last stimulus package. He says current unemployment insurance incentivizes people not to work and wants to put a limit on how much individuals can receive.

The new bill will allocate relief for businesses that have disproportionately affected during the pandemic along with aid for municipalities that have been hit hard.

Congressman LaHood notes while many are wanting to send out individual checks a second time, he is hesitant due to the amount of debt it will accumulate.

Congress is currently in session through the end of July before a recess in August.
