“Reintroduction of SAFE Banking, as well as the potential for a hearing, seemingly suggest a possible pathway for passage of the SAFE Banking Act this year,” Benjamin Salisbury of Height Commentary said in a note. While an earlier version of SAFE has passed the House multiple times, it’s now gaining support in the Senate and may be nearing the 60 votes needed to pass. The act would allow legal cannabis companies to access banking and financial services they’ve been barred from because marijuana remains illegal at the federal level. The reintroduced legislation includes Community Development Financial Institutions and Minority Depository Institutions.
