Why This Matters

This bill allows more time for authorities to investigate and prosecute fraud related to pandemic relief programs for venues and restaurants. It helps ensure that those who misuse these funds can still be held accountable, even years later.

If you own a restaurant or venue that received pandemic aid, you could face legal action for fraud up to 10 years later.
