Federal Update

HEROES Act

• On May 15, the House of Representatives passed the Health and

Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act

• The Senate will not take up the House legislation in its current form.

Senate leaders have not committed to timing on the next COVID-19 relief legislation, but discussions are continuing.

• There is a push to include:

– Additional support for health care heroes; – forgiveness for accelerated payments; – maintaining health benefits for individuals and families and increasing coverage options for those who are uninsured; and – appropriate liability protections to front-line medical providers and facilities.

• Also a push to oppose any provision that would require new, unrealistic

and burdensome Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards.
