        discretion to provide relief to the hardest hit small 
        businesses that have received or will receive direct loans from

  Subtitle A--Codification of the Minority Business Development Agency

SEC. 711. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Minority Business Resiliency 
Act of 2020''.

SEC. 712. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) During times of economic downturn or recession, 
        communities of color, and businesses within those communities, 
        are generally more adversely affected, which requires an 
        expansion of the ability of the Federal Government to infuse 
        resources into those communities.
            (2) Despite the growth in the number of minority business 
        enterprises, gaps remain with respect to key metrics for those 
        enterprises, such as access to capital, revenue, number of 
        employees, and survival rate. Specifically--
                    (A) according to the Department of Commerce, 
                minority business enterprises are 2 to 3 times more 
                likely to be denied loans than non-minority business 
                enterprises;
                    (B) according to the Bureau of the Census, the 
                average non-minority business enterprise reports 
                receipts that are more than 3 times higher than 
                receipts reported by the average minority business 
                enterprise; and
                    (C) according to the Kauffman Foundation--
                            (i) minority business enterprises are \1/2\ 
                        as likely to employ individuals, as compared 
                        with non-minority business enterprises; and
                            (ii) if minorities started and owned 
                        businesses at the same rate as non-minorities, 
                        the United States economy would have more than 
                        1,000,000 additional employer businesses and 
                        more than 9,500,000 additional jobs.
            (3) Because of the conditions described in paragraph (2), 
        it is in the interest of the United States and the economy of 
        the United States to expeditiously ameliorate the disparities 
        that minority business enterprises experience.
            (4) Many individuals who own minority business enterprises 
        are socially disadvantaged because those individuals identify 
        as members of certain groups that have suffered the effects of 
        discriminatory practices or similar circumstances over which 
        those individuals have no control, including individuals who 
        are--
                    (A) Black or African American;
                    (B) Hispanic or Latino;
                    (C) American Indian or Alaska Native;
                    (D) Asian; and
                    (E) Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander.
            (5) Discriminatory practices and similar circumstances 
        described in paragraph (4) are a significant determinant of 
        overall economic disadvantage in the United States, which is 
        evident in the persistent racial wealth gap in the United 
        States.
            (6) While other Federal agencies focus only on small 
        businesses and businesses that represent a broader demographic 
        than solely minority business enterprises, the Agency focuses 
        exclusively on--
                    (A) the unique needs of minority business 
                enterprises; and
                    (B) enhancing the capacity of minority business 
                enterprises.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this subtitle are to--
            (1) require the Agency to promote and administer programs 
        in the public and private sectors to assist the development of 
        minority business enterprises; and
            (2) achieve the development described in paragraph (1) by 
        authorizing the Assistant Secretary to carry out programs that 
        will result in increased access to capital, management, and 
        technology for minority business enterprises.

   TITLE VIII--PROMOTING AND ADVANCING COMMUNITIES OF COLOR THROUGH 
                           INCLUSIVE LENDING

SEC. 801. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Promoting and Advancing 
Communities of Color through Inclusive Lending Act''.

SEC. 802. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the 
        resulting recession have led to--
                    (A) more than 4,800,000 cases and at least 157,000 
                deaths in the United States as of August 6, 2020;
                    (B) a 7.6 percent increase in the unemployment rate 
                from February to June, or approximately 12,000,000 more 
                persons who have lost their job; and
                    (C) an estimated 36 percent of renters and 
                4,100,000 homeowners who are struggling to pay their 
                rent and mortgages.
            (2) According to the Centers for Disease Control and 
        Prevention, ``long-standing systemic health and social 
        inequities have put some members of racial and ethnic minority 
        groups at increased risk of getting COVID-19 or experiencing 
        severe illness''.
            (3) Minority-owned businesses are also facing more 
        difficult economic circumstances than others as a result of the 
        COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, the Federal Reserve Bank of 
        New York reported that minority- and women-owned businesses 
        were not only more likely to show signs of limited financial 
        health, but also twice as likely to be classified as ``at 
        risk'' or ``distressed'' than their non-minority counterparts.
            (4) During the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, 
        community development financial institutions (in this section 
        referred to as ``CDFIs'') and minority depository institutions 
        (in this section referred to as ``MDIs'') have delivered needed 
        capital and relief to underserved communities, many of which 
        have borne a disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
        Through August 8, 2020, CDFIs and MDIs have provided more than 
        $16,400,000,000 in loans under the Paycheck Protection Program 
        under section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
        636(a)(36)) to small businesses with a smaller median loan size 
        of about $74,000 compared to the overall program median loan 
        size of $101,000.
            (5) In addition to establishing relief funds and services 
        for local businesses and individuals experiencing loss of 
        income, CDFIs and MDIs have provided mortgage forbearances, 
        loan deferments, and modifications to help address the needs of 
        their borrowers. CDFIs and MDIs are reaching underserved 
        communities and minority-owned businesses at a critical time.
            (6) The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund 
        (in this section referred to as the ``CDFI Fund'') is an agency 
        of the Department of the Treasury and was established by the 
        Community Development Banking and Financial Institutions Act of 
        1994. The mission of the CDFI Fund is ``to expand economic 
        opportunity for underserved people and communities by 
        supporting the growth and capacity of a national network of 
        community development lenders, investors, and financial service 
        providers''. As of September 15, 2020, there were 1,137 
        certified CDFIs in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, 
        Guam, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
            (7) Following the 2008 financial crisis and the 
        disproportionate impact the Great Recession had on minority 
        communities, the number of MDIs that are banks fell more than 
        30 percent over the following decade, to 143 as of the second 
        quarter of 2020. Meanwhile, MDIs that are credit unions have 
        seen similar declines, with more than one-third of such 
        institutions disappearing since 2013.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--The following is the sense of the Congress:
            (1) The Department of the Treasury, Board of Governors of 
        the Federal Reserve System, Small Business Administration, 
        Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Deposit 
        Insurance Corporation, National Credit Union Administration, 
        and other Federal agencies should take steps to support, engage 
        with, and utilize MDIs and CDFIs in the near term, especially 
        as they carry out programs to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, 
        and the long term.
            (2) The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 
        should, consistent with its mandates, work to increase lending 
        by MDIs and CDFIs to underserved communities, and when 
        appropriate, should work with the Department of the Treasury to 
        increase lending by MDIs and CDFIs to underserved communities.
            (3) The Department of the Treasury and prudential 
        regulators should establish a strategic plan identifying 
        concrete steps that they can take to support existing MDIs, as 
        well as the formation of new MDIs consistent with the goals 
        established in section 308 of the Financial Institutions 
        Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (12 U.S.C. 1463 
        note) to preserve and promote MDIs.
            (4) Congress should increase funding and make other 
        enhancements, including those provided by this legislation, to 
        enhance the effectiveness of the CDFI Fund, especially reforms 
        to support minority-owned and minority led CDFIs in times of 
        crisis and beyond.
            (5) Congress should conduct robust and ongoing oversight of 
        the Department of the Treasury, the CDFI Fund, Federal 
        prudential regulators, the Small Business Administration, and 
        other Federal agencies to ensure they fulfill their obligations 
        under the law as well as implement this title and other laws in 
        a manner that supports and fully utilizes MDIs and community 
        development financial intuitions, as appropriate.
            (6) The investments made by the Secretary of the Treasury 
        under this title and the amendments made by this title should 
        be designed to maximize the benefit to low- and moderate-income 
        and minority communities and contemplate losses to capital of 
        the Treasury.

SEC. 803. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this title are to--
            (1) establish programs to revitalize and provide long-term 
        financial products and service availability for, and provide 
        investments in, low- and moderate-income and minority 
        communities;
            (2) respond to the unprecedented loss of Black-owned 
        businesses and unemployment; and
            (3) otherwise enhance the stability, safety and soundness

SEC. 807. ENSURING DIVERSITY IN COMMUNITY BANKING.

    (a) Sense of Congress on Funding the Loan-Loss Reserve Fund for 
Small Dollar Loans.--The sense of Congress is the following:
            (1) The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund 
        (in this subsection referred to as the ``CDFI Fund'') is an 
        agency of the Department of the Treasury, and was established 
        by the Community Development Banking and Financial Institutions 
        of 1994. The mission of the CDFI Fund is ``to expand economic 
        opportunity for underserved people and communities by 
        supporting the growth and capacity of a national network of 
        community development lenders, investors, and financial service 
        providers''. A community development financial institution (in 
        this subsection referred to as a ``CDFI'') is a specialized 
        financial institution serving low-income communities and a 
        Community Development Entity (in this subsection referred to as 
        a ``CDE'') is a domestic corporation or partnership that is an 
        intermediary vehicle for the provision of loans, investments, 
        or financial counseling in low-income communities. The CDFI 
        Fund certifies CDFIs and CDEs. Becoming a certified CDFI or CDE 
        allows organizations to participate in various CDFI Fund 
        programs as follows:
                    (A) The Bank Enterprise Award Program, which 
                provides FDIC-insured depository institutions awards 
                for a demonstrated increase in lending and investments 
                in distressed communities and CDFIs.
                    (B) The CDFI Program, which provides Financial and 
                Technical Assistance awards to CDFIs to reinvest in the 
                CDFI, and to build the capacity of the CDFI, including 
                financing product development and loan loss reserves.
                    (C) The Native American CDFI Assistance Program, 
                which provides CDFIs and sponsoring entities Financial 
                and Technical Assistance awards to increase lending and 
                grow the number of CDFIs owned by Native Americans to 
                help build capacity of such CDFIs.
                    (D) The New Market Tax Credit Program, which 
                provides tax credits for making equity investments in 
                CDEs that stimulate capital investments in low-income 
                communities.
                    (E) The Capital Magnet Fund, which provides awards 
                to CDFIs and nonprofit affordable housing organizations 
                to finance affordable housing solutions and related 
                economic development activities.
                    (F) The Bond Guarantee Program, a source of long-
                term, patient capital for CDFIs to expand lending and 
                investment capacity for community and economic 
                development purposes.
            (2) The Department of the Treasury is authorized to create 
        multi-year grant programs designed to encourage low-to-moderate 
        income individuals to establish accounts at federally insured 
        banks, and to improve low-to-moderate income individuals' 
        access to such accounts on reasonable terms.
            (3) Under this authority, grants to participants in CDFI 
        Fund programs may be used for loan-loss reserves and to 
        establish small-dollar loan programs by subsidizing related 
        losses. These grants also allow for the providing recipients 
        with the financial counseling and education necessary to 
        conduct transactions and manage their accounts. These loans 
        provide low-cost alternatives to payday loans and other 
        nontraditional forms of financing that often impose excessive 
        interest rates and fees on borrowers, and lead millions of 
        Americans to fall into debt traps. Small-dollar loans can only 
        be made pursuant to terms, conditions, and practices that are 
        reasonable for the individual consumer obtaining the loan.
            (4) Program participation is restricted to eligible 
        institutions, which are limited to organizations listed in 
        section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and 
        exempt from tax under 501(a) of such Code, federally insured 
        depository institutions, community development financial 
        institutions and State, local, or Tribal government entities.
            (5) Since its founding, the CDFI Fund has awarded over 
        $3,300,000,000 to CDFIs and CDEs and has allocated 
        $54,000,000,000 in tax credits and $1,510,000,000 in bond 
        guarantees. According to the CDFI Fund, some programs attract 
        as much as $10 in private capital for every $1 invested by the 
        CDFI Fund. The Administration and the Congress should 
        prioritize appropriation of funds for the loan loss reserve 
        fund and technical assistance programs administered by the 
        Community Development Financial Institution Fund.
    (b) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Community development financial institution.--The term 
        ``community development financial institution'' has the meaning 
        given under section 103 of the Community Development Banking

        depository institution'' has the meaning given under section 
        308 of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and 
        Enforcement Act of 1989 (12 U.S.C. 1463 note).
    (c) Establishment of Impact Bank Designation.--
            (1) In general.--Each Federal banking agency shall 
        establish a program under which a depository institution with 
        total consolidated assets of less than $10,000,000,000 may

        value of the loans extended by such depository institution to 
        low-income borrowers is greater than or equal to 50 percent of 
        the assets of such bank.
            (2) Notification of eligibility.--Based on data obtained 
        through examinations of depository institutions, the
