CUNA launches next phase of grassroots S. 2155 support

CUNA launched the second phase of its nationwide grassroots advocacy support of the Senate’s bipartisan regulatory relief bill this week, after urging Senate leaders last week to give the bill floor consideration. The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (S. 2155) is strongly supported by CUNA.

S. 2155 was introduced by a bipartisan group of legislators in November and passed the Senate Banking Committee in December.
