SAFE Banking Act In Senate
The SAFE Banking Act already passed the House of Representatives by a wide margin in fall of 2019, but it appears headed back to the Senate as part of the CARES 2.0 package for Coronavirus relief. Will the Covid-19 pandemic help cannabis banking become law? Call your Senator and tell them to support CARES 2.0 for coronavirus relief.
SAFE BANKING ACT INSERTED INTO CARES 2.0 by CONGRESS
Congress put the SAFE Banking Act on page 1066 of the CARES 2.0 package. It begins:
