Cannabis Banking Bill Reintroduced in the Senate - US Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Steve Daines (R-MT), along with 27 other cosponsors, have reintroduced the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act. If enacted, SAFE would ensure that financial institutions could service cannabis business clients without facing federal penalties. At present, the threat of federal penalty has shut out many cannabis companies from working with many banks and credit unions. Now that Democrats control the Senate and the White House, many in the industry are optimistic about passage.
