Lawmakers are running up against deadlines for the expiration of federal assistance programs on evictions, unemployment, and paid leave later this month.The bipartisan group of lawmakers spearheading efforts to pass a coronavirus relief plan this month unveiled the legislation on Monday. The moderate senators broke off $160 billion in aid to state and local governments as well as a liability shield sheltering firms from virus-related lawsuits into a separate plan.
