Legislative Bill Tracking

State Issues

The Senate passed S.471A (Kaplan) “The COVID-19 Emergency Protect Our Small Businesses Act of 2021,” which protects commercial tenants and certain commercial owners/mortgage holders from eviction, foreclosure, and tax lien sales through May 1, 2021. 

Federal Issues 

Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan) introduced a bill, H.R. 334, to provide law enforcement agencies investigating the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol with the authority to require a company to disclose the beneficial owners of the company in its review.  The bill is similar to legislation just passed by Congress in December to require such disclosures generally, but moves up the effective date of the new law for this specific purpose only.
