Marijuana Banking Bill Lights Up the Senate
Five senators have introduced a bipartisan bill that would give state-compliant marijuana businesses access to banking services by affording protection to financial institutions against prosecution or asset forfeiture if they provide services to these businesses. While similar bills have been introduced in the House in the past, the Marijuana Business Access to Banking Act of 2015 is the first such bill to be introduced in the Senate. [7/10/15]
