Easing Disruption for America’s Small Contractor Act of 2020
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Easing Disruption for America's Small Contractor Act of 2020
This bill requires a federal agency to provide a small business contractor with additional time to perform its responsibilities and to pay such contractor regardless of any delay or interruption that is due to COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019).
Specifically, a small business that is party to a contract with a federal agency and which experiences an adverse impact to its operations as a result of COVID-19 shall be provided with 90 additional days, or such additional time as deemed appropriate, to carry out its responsibilities under the contract.
Further, if such performance of a federal goods or services contract is unavoidably delayed or interrupted by the inability of the small business's employees to access government facilities or resources due to restrictions related to COVID-19, the government shall pay the entity, upon submission of required documentation, the prices stipulated in the contract for goods or services as if performance had been rendered.
