'Schumer Commits To Bring Newly Revised Marijuana Banking Bill To The Floor With Cannabis Expungements And Gun Rights Amendments' - Marijuana Moment
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Newsdesk
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has committed to advancing a revised marijuana banking bill, the Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation (SAFER) Banking Act, which will allow cannabis businesses to accept credit and debit cards. Schumer also plans to include the Harnessing Opportunities by Pursuing Expungement (HOPE) Act and Gun Rights and Marijuana (GRAM) Act in the final legislation. The HOPE Act incentivizes states to expunge cannabis records, while the GRAM Act allows medical cannabis patients to purchase and possess firearms. The bill also includes provisions to increase access to deposit accounts for businesses and customers, especially those in rural, low-income areas, Tribal communities, and unbanked businesses and consumers.
