WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) yesterday spoke on the Senate floor on the essential need for the Senate to reconvene and take up legislation to reopen the American economy. “We've seen health care providers working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We've seen the president and his staff at the White House working 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

Senator Lee sent a letter to all of his colleagues in the U.S. Senate to encourage their support for the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) and Secure Rural Schools (SRS) programs. These programs are vital to the economic security of Utah’s counties, especially the rural ones whose lands are predominately owned by the federal government. Senator Lee will continue to champion these causes and seek long-term reforms to ensure they better serve Utahns.

SALT LAKE CITY - Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) was named to President Trump’s Congressional Economic Task Force on Wednesday. The bipartisan and bicameral group of federal lawmakers will provide counsel to President Trump on the reopening of the American economy.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) joined a group of 17 senators Tuesday that signed a letter to Steven Mnuchin, Secretary of the Treasury, and Jovita Carranza, Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA), to thank them for the recently issued interim final rule on protections for faith-based entities during the continued rollout of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and related federal economic relief. The Administration also issued an FAQ for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) programs to clarify that faith-based entities, including houses of worship, are eligible for the PPP and EIDL and will not need to sacrifice their religious beliefs to comply.
