Safe BankingThe Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) and 44 state-level banking associations have published a joint letter calling on the U.S. Senate to take up the SAFE Banking Act before year-end and enact it "without further delay." The associations pointed out that the SAFE Banking Act has already cleared the House of Representatives seven times, with bipartisan support. Even with this outpouring of support, and with the lower chamber having passed the act no fewer than seven times, the Senate has still not taken it up once. The time is now IMO!
