Case Summary

COVID-19 Summary: This is a case challenging the legality of the Small Business Administration's decision to exclude small business owners from parts of the CARES Act, passed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. On July 21, the court granted a preliminary injunction extending the deadline to apply for a loan for the named plaintiffs. In response to the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, Congress passed the CARES Act, which created, among other things, the “Paycheck Protec…

In response to the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, Congress passed the CARES Act, which created, among other things, the “Paycheck Protection Program.” Under this program, small business owners could apply for a loan from the Small Business Administration; if they later certified that all of the loan funds had been used for qualifying expenses, the loan would be forgiven. The Act authorized the SBA to use a streamlined rulemaking process, in order to distribute the $669 billion fund as quickly as possible. The SBA’s Interim Final Rules rendered many small business owners with criminal records ineligible; the Interim Final Rules were changed several times between April and June 2020.

On June 16, 2020, three organizations and two individual plaintiffs filed this lawsuit challenging the legality of the SBA’s decision to exclude small business owners based on their criminal histories. Represented by the ACLU, the Public Interest Law Center, the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs, and private counsel, they sued the Small Business Administration in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. Their complaint alleged that the SBA had no statutory authority under the CARES Act to add the criminal record exclusions; that the exclusions were arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act; that the exclusions had a disparate impact on communities of color; and that the multiple changes to the Interim Final Rules had made it impossible for some qualifying small business owners to apply before the June 30 application deadline. The case was assigned to Judge Catherine C. Blake.

The plaintiffs sought a judgment declaring unlawful and setting aside the SBA’s rulemaking action. They also sought an injunction that would:

bar the SBA from denying Paycheck Protection Program funds to applicants because of their criminal records,
compel the SBA to extend the application deadline three weeks (to July 21, 2020) in all of the states where the plaintiffs operated (Maryland, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, and Washington), and
reserve sufficient funds ($31,500) to fill the plaintiffs’ loan requests.

They also sought attorneys’ fees and costs.

The SBA issued a new set of rules on June 24, which made all of the plaintiffs eligible to apply for loans. However, in a June 29, 2020 ruling, the court declined to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims as moot. The SBA had not demonstrated that the plaintiffs would not again be excluded from loan consideration; additionally, the SBA had not granted the requested deadline extension. In that decision, the court found that the June 24 Interim Final Rule was a permissible interpretation of SBA’s statutory authority under the CARES Act. The plaintiffs were thus unlikely to prevail on their claims that the June 24 Interim Final Rule was arbitrary and capricious or contrary to law. The court found, however, that the plaintiffs were likely to succeed on their arbitrary-and-capricious claims regarding the earlier incarnations of the Interim Final Rule; for that reason, the court granted a preliminary injunction ordering the deadline extended to July 21 for the named plaintiffs, but declined to issue any other requested relief.

On July 4, 2020, President Trump signed follow-up legislation that gave all business owners eligible under the June 24 Interim Final Rule until August 8, 2020 to apply.

As of July 29, 2020, further developments in the litigation are pending.
