What’s happening with Fair Access to Banking Act?
The Fair Access to Banking Act is currently stalled in the House Committee on Financial Services where it has remained since February 4, 2025. Members of this committee must choose to hold a vote for the bill to move forward, but most bills fail to receive a committee vote and die in this stage. This proposal follows a similar bill from April 19, 2023, that also did not advance.
