In today’s political climate, it’s rare to find consensus. But on Capitol Hill, one area of bipartisan agreement is beginning to take shape: support for our nation’s community banks. Six recent bills advanced by the House Financial Services Committee demonstrate a thoughtful and measured approach to modernizing banking regulations, focusing on making it easier for community banks to operate. Together, they represent a significant shift toward making our financial system more responsive, efficient and fair, especially for the small and mid-sized institutions that form the backbone of local economies.
