Quiver AI Summary

The U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship has advanced two bills proposed by Senator Joni Ernst aimed at enhancing American manufacturing and addressing COVID-19 fraud. The *Made in America Manufacturing Finance Act* seeks to facilitate access to loans for small businesses, while the *SBA Fraud Enforcement Extension Act* extends the statute of limitations for prosecuting COVID fraud cases.

Senator Ernst emphasized that the *Made in America Manufacturing Finance Act* aims to "make ‘Made in America’ the norm instead of the exception" by doubling loan limits for small manufacturers. The *SBA Fraud Enforcement Extension Act*, on the other hand, is designed to ensure accountability for those suspected of misappropriating pandemic relief funds, reflecting Ernst's assertion that “justice will be carried out for criminals.”
