But businesses say the loan terms are too onerous, with much of the economy shut down for longer than lawmakers expected when they designed the so-called Paycheck Protection Program.Legislation agreed to by Sens.
The Senate this afternoon began "hotlining" the bill — bypassing lengthy floor debate on the legislation — to see if any members objected to the proposal.

The House legislation would give small business borrowers 24 weeks to spend the loan funds while also eliminating a requirement that they spend at least 75 percent of the money on payroll — a provision left out of the Senate compromise.
The Senate bill also includes new legal protections for banks that relied on borrower certifications and documentation when making the loans.
