Wake and bank: Yesterday afternoon Congress yet again passed the SAFE Banking Act, which would allow cannabis businesses to open accounts with regular banks instead of having to rely on cash. Republicans and Democrats backed the bill 321-101, and Democrats are optimistic about its chances in the Senate, Bloomberg reports.
If Sens. Joe Manchin or Kyrsten Sinema or whoever else need some encouragement, they ll find it in the exhortations from Washington s new State Treasurer, Mike Pellicciotti. I will continue to partner with other State Treasurers around the country to now push the U.S. Senate to pass this critical legislation, so that it can get to President Biden to be signed into law, he said in a press release.
