Safe Banking ACTThe Senate Banking Committee has approved a bipartisan marijuana banking bill with amendments, sending it to the floor.
Members voted to pass the Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation (SAFER) Banking Act, sponsored by Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Steve Daines (R-MT), in a 14-9 vote. This comes one week after it was filed with revisions that were meant to bolster its bipartisan buy-in.
