Lets state-legal marijuana businesses and their workers access banking services and home loans.
Currently, businesses that sell marijuana legally under state laws often can't use banks because federal law still sees marijuana as illegal. This bill would protect banks and credit unions from federal punishment if they offer services to these state-legal marijuana businesses. It would also allow people who work in these businesses to use their income to qualify for federally backed home loans.
Today, banks and other financial institutions often avoid working with state-legal marijuana businesses due to federal laws, forcing these businesses to operate largely in cash. After this bill, banks and credit unions would be protected from federal penalties for serving these businesses, making it easier for them to access financial services. Also, income from state-legal marijuana businesses would be considered valid for federally backed home loans, which is often not the case today.
