Guidelines to Safely Reopen Additional Businesses and Industries as State Advances to Next Phase of Restore Illinois

SUBJECT: Thank you for your support of my small business

Dear Mr. President;

On behalf of thousands of small business owners and tens of thousands of employees in Illinois, Oregon, West Virginia, Nevada, Montana, Georgia, South Dakota, Louisiana and Pennsylvania, we wanted to sincerely thank you for supporting our eligibility to participate in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).

The Small Business Administration’s (SBA) release of revised regulatory guidelines that allow all size-eligible gaming entities to participate in the PPP was long overdue and vital to our small businesses. We are incredibly grateful for your steadfast advocacy in correcting the SBA’s antiquated policy that precluded small businesses that generate revenues from legalized and regulated gaming activities from rightfully qualifying for needed relief under the CARES Act.

There is no doubt that without your leadership and sustained effort to get the guidelines changed, thousands of small businesses and their employees would not have been able to survive the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Your continued support of my small businesses is greatly appreciated.

Gratefully,
