The Legislature on Monday approved a bill setting up the new program and sent it to the governor.

The measure is aimed at small businesses and would allow them to receive up to $5,000 for 2020 and 2021 if state and local officials imposed COVID-19 restrictions.

Many of the restrictions were lifted by the summer of 2020.
