The House of Representativesis expected to pass H.R. 6800, the “Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act”on May15. The $3 trillion 1,815-page package is largely viewed as the Democrats’ opening offer for future COVID-19 relief legislation.

It is unlikely that serious negotiations toward the next round of COVID-19 relief will begin until after Memorial Day.
