Plain-English Summary

Banks and other financial companies would be protected from federal penalties if they provide banking services to legal marijuana businesses in states where cannabis is allowed. Currently, many banks avoid working with marijuana companies because federal law still classifies marijuana as illegal, creating a risky situation where legal state businesses struggle to access banking services. This bill would remove that barrier so that banks can safely serve the marijuana industry without fear of federal prosecution.
