Rep. Correa Introduces Bill to Pay Small Businesses for Losses During Major Road and Transit Construction
The Business Uninterrupted Monetary Program Act of 2025 is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It has been sent to a subcommittee for review by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The bill is actively moving through the committee phase.
While the bill supports small businesses, it adds new costs and requirements to infrastructure projects that may face opposition. It currently lacks bipartisan cosponsors.
Small businesses located near large federally funded highway and transit construction projects would gain a new right to financial assistance for losses caused by those projects. They could be reimbursed for rent, utilities, payroll, and lost income during construction disruptions. This addresses a longstanding problem where shops and restaurants near major construction sites lose customers for months or years but have no way to recover those losses. However, only businesses near projects costing $50 million or more would be covered.
“shall be provided to covered entities that are negatively impacted by an interruption caused by a project carried out with amounts made available under such grant.”
