CUNA

 

Representative Ed Royce (R-CA-40) recently introduced the Small Business Lending Enhancement Act, H.R.1418, which would raise the credit union member business lending cap to 27.5% of assets. This common sense provision could provide up to $13 billion to small businesses in the first year alone and create over 140,000 new jobs at no cost to taxpayers.
Please contact your Representative TODAY and urge them to support H.R1418.
