Call-to-Action! Please Contact Congress Today
 
Dear Members,

Great news! As of last week, there have been two bills introduced that will help the motorcoach industry still recovering from the COVID 19 pandemic. 

Senator Cardin (D-MD) and Senator Wicker (R-MS) introduced S. 4008, the Small Business COVID Relief Act of 2022. This legislation provides COVID relief to restaurants and other small businesses – including $2 billion in grant funding for the Coronavirus Economic Relief for Transportation Services (CERTS) program – supporting motorcoaches, school buses, and passenger vessels. 

Rep. Panetta (D-CA), Rep. LaHood (R-IL), Rep. Sires (D-NJ), and Rep. Rose (R-TN) introduced H.R. 7477, the CERTS Tax Exemption Act. This bill would provide relief to the motorcoach, school bus, and passenger vessel industries devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic by making previously awarded CERTS grants tax-exempt.
