NEW:

The bill includes a provision that will "prohibit businesses controlled by the President, Vice President, Members of Congress, and heads of Executive Departments from receiving loans or investments from Treasury programs,” per a letter from Schumer to Dems.
The bill bans stock buybacks for the term of the government assistance plus 1 year on any company receiving a government loan

Originally, it would have allowed Treasury to delay reporting information about loans to corporations for 6 months.

McConnell started to get up after Roberts declined the question, but sat down.
