Plain-English Summary

This bill would allow credit unions to lend more money to small businesses and entrepreneurs by increasing the amount they're permitted to loan out relative to their size. Credit unions, which are member-owned financial institutions, would gain more flexibility to support business growth and expansion in their communities. The change would help small business owners access funding from local credit unions as an alternative to traditional banks.
