Posts - Bill - S 557 1071 Repeal to Protect Small Business Lending Act

senate 02/12/2025 - 119th Congress

We propose the "1071 Repeal to Protect Small Business Lending Act" to eliminate certain data collection requirements on small business loans under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. By doing so, we aim to reduce the regulatory burdens on financial institutions, particularly community banks and credit unions, which will in turn improve access to credit for small businesses.

Let's cut through the bureaucracy and support community banks.

Why should banks drown in red tape when they could be helping small businesses grow?

This bill is just another favor for Wall Street at the expense of Main Street.
