Small businesses are receiving a helping hand as portions of the legislative measure authored by Republican Senator Andreas Borgeas (R-Fresno) are incorporated into the state budget. Senator Borgeas and members of the California State Senate Republican Caucus, who are coauthors of this bipartisan measure, have been pushing the Governor and Legislative Democrats to provide additional help to California’s devastated small business community.
In a win for Republicans and bipartisanship, Democrats agreed to include some of the proposals from Senator Borgeas’ Senate Bill 74, which would provide more than $2 billion in immediate economic relief for struggling small businesses and non-profits. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Senate Republicans have advocated for more immediate economic relief for job creators and remained committed to strengthening opportunities for small businesses.
