This bill would relax federal regulations of new financial institutions serving rural communities, making more resources available to small lenders in underserved places. It is consistent with NWBC’s 2023 recommendation to increase resources and funding for organizations offering small-dollar grants. The House Committee voted favorably on this bill in May 2024.
