The purpose of this legislation, known as the PPP Shell Company Discovery Act, is to improve the collection and sharing of information related to loans made under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). This is specifically aimed at aiding criminal investigations into potential misuse of these loans, which were intended to support businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Key provisions of the legislation include the requirement for the Secretary of the Treasury to create a comprehensive list of all individuals and entities that received PPP loans.
