Article: 21 Governors Call for SAFE Act in SenateClip taken from the Article: A bipartisan group of twenty-one state governors sent a letter to congressional leaders on Monday urging lawmakers to support a bill that would allow legal cannabis businesses to have access to traditional banking services. The measure, titled the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act, was approved by the House of Representatives on Monday this week and now heads to the Senate for further consideration.
Prior to the vote in the House, 18 Democratic governors were joined by three of their Republican colleagues calling on Congress to support the measure, noting that federal regulations make obtaining common banking services such as payroll and checking accounts nearly impossible.
